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!

Yes it is indeed used elsewhere. On the New York subway a derivative
of "Mind the gap" in the form of "Mind da gap mon" is often used. Also
to altert pasengers to the iminent closure of the doors "Stand clear a
da clozin dawz, pleeze" is usually announced.
