Rail express systems Design Manual

The British Rail Parcels sector—responsible for the distribution by rail of parcels and mail—was rebranded Rail express systems (R.e.s.) in 1991. The design work was once again awarded to Roundel Design following the successful rebranding of Railfreight in 1987. In October 1992 R.e.s. released a Design Manual in landscape 4-ring binder format with 307×210mm pages on 250gsm stock, many of which were double-sided and some folded out.
