I think it is a DIN used by Deustche Bahn.

Question

Curiously in the same period (2008-2010) DBahn used two kinds of alphabets that were palced inside tyhe cabin jsut tyo inform the passengers the main stop stations, as y=the lower case g shows two variations.

I have not archives that show the superb g tail (Image 1) and would like to know if this a DIN font (surely) and the typeface.

Thanks

The first image is Deutsche Bahn Sans, by Christian Schwartz and Erik Spiekermann

 

Oostende- and Köln apper to be set in Helvetica Bold, while the center line of type is set in Helvetica Compressed Bold

Thanks.
A perfect answer.

That condensed Helvetica in Ostende image seems quite robust and new.
It tricked me.

I had the same reaction—it looks remarkably fresh for something designed in 1966.
