Default How widespread is usage of "Mind the Gap"?

On the Midland Mainline there are several stations where the guards
announce "mind the gap between the train and the platform edge".


And "mind the gap" is painted on the platform edge at Market Harborough.

Mind you, less of a gap and more of a jump. There must be 18" vertical
between step and platform. How come the two are so far out of alignment?



chester has the words painted on the edge (you can see to varients, one
saying "Please mind the gap "and the other just "mind the gap" one has
been blacked out and the other written on top but i cant remember which
way round,

also on the mml routes the guard often announces it as "please take care
when leaving the train and mind the gap between the train and the
platform edge"
