Default Crossrail stations

This video is about 6 weeks old, but I don't recall seeing it before. Is
it my imagination or is the name text over the entrance to TCR station
in a font other than Johnson?

Well spotted. Yes, the text over the entrance for TCR and also
Paddington have C, G and R that are quite different to those letters in
Johnston. They look like Helvetica to me, though they might be the
similar Rail Alphabet which was British Rail's corporate typeface from
1965 until the late 80s.
