My wife wants to know whether "Mind the Gap" as used on London
Underground is used on railways, metros outside London (I'm pretty
certain that announcements are made on Platform 17 at Clapham Junction
- the phrase is certainly picked out in white paint as you step off
the train) but for the life of me I can't think of any examples of
seeing it written or hearing it on PA systems elsewhere in the UK.
I'd be grateful for any examples, o wise ones!

It is regularly used on trains entering Victoria Eastern. Strangely, since
we are on the train, it says "mind the gap between the platform and the
train". Wrong way round!

I was on a Southeastern train passing through the Brixton area, on its
way to Victoria, when the announcement said "We will shortly be
arriving at Cannon Street. Please mind the gap ... etc".

It was a very big gap.
