I went to London in March 2002, and my favorite part was riding the underground. Some stations had the announcement "mind the gap". My family stayed at High Street Kensington, and there is no such announcement. Also, that station is partially "open air" instead of fully enclosed. London's trains are still GREAT!
People DO fall down the bloody gap though! They also manage to lose their shoes, phones, computers etc down it as well. How do I know? I work on the Underground and trust me ... people are more unbelievably stupid than you can imagine (and rude with it too!).
@ZingoBoggerly Hehehe, really? That stupid... I mean, here in the netherlands we sometimes have HUGE gaps(on the amsterdam metro not so), especially the National Rail here can be like a foot tbh but it never got announced. We assume people are smart enough to actually mind it withouth bieng reminded of it, cause... It's obvious here that you alway's mind the bloody gap. And the thing about the underground though, those gaps are damn small, Really! And yet it needs to be aggresively announced xD
It is because the London system is so complex some parts are very old, and they can't modify them to reduce the gap. So normally you don't have a gap, and then at occasional stations you have a big one, that might surprise some people.
I was in London during March 2002. The underground was one of my favorites while visiting there. Trains must move at speeds of nearly 60mph, MIND THE GAP!
i love the underground. sometimes they say "MIND THE GAP!" when the no gap and they dont say it if theres a big gap. lol xD and I LOVE LONDON! :D realy miss it :(
Now this is the best "Mind the gap". Clipped, short and to the point. Why on earth they've introduced that other stupid "Please mind the gap between the train and the platform" announcement God only knows.
obviously, but having been to many stations, that doesnt look like any danger, that train is infact really close to the platform, ive been to stations where you had to jump lol
Mind the gap between the train and the platform!! I luv it LOL! xD
I was in london the last weekend for the first time and when i take the tube and i heard this... simply lovely! And then you are looking the city and can find in probably all the stores , t-shirts, cups, ...etc with "Mind the gap". I luv it!
Paddington has a mild gap at the platform; the serious curves follow immediately. Worst gaps I've seen: Bank (Central); Waterloo (Bakerloo) and south end of Holborn (Piccadilly). I don't mind the warning whatsoever.
this is ridiculous.. they should have standardized things to eleminate the stupid gap.. it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how high and far the station platform should be constructed to eliminate a gap between the platform and the train. for example there's no gap in the Montréal metro stations and no annoying messages
I think you will find that it is very interesting, namely because Paddington is one of the few stations to say "Mind the gap"; the other stations say "Mind the gap please".
I guess Paddington is just a little less courteous.
It seems to be at nigh, more or less 8 p.m, 'cause there are almost anybody at the station... I WANNA GO BACK TO LONDON.... I L.O.V.E THIS CITY
