How widespread is usage of "Mind the Gap"?

"THC" wrote in message ... 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! THC 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. |
