That’s a clean shot

In 1983 as a 10 year old, I told my Mum that I "felt sorry for the guy who has to say 'Mind the gap' every time a train pulls in". She's never let me forget it.

There is always that one passenger picking their noses and wiping on the seats 😂😂

Nostalgic. But man, september weather with trees all bare does make things look depressing

Holy shit I forgot the 95 stock refurbishments were from 2014... Damn it feels like yesterday they were in place

just discovered the story.. so lovely..

the underground’s slogan of mind the gap is in direct opposition to the slogan of The Gap which is fall into the gap.

In London, there's a woman who goes every day on the underground and sits on the platform just to listen to the announcement recorded by her husband in 1950. Margaret McCollum after the death of her husband Oswald Laurence, sits on the bench waiting to hear this recording that became one of London's most famous "Mind the gap" In 2003, Oswald died leaving a huge void in Margaret's heart. So Margaret found a way to feel his presence closest. After more than half a century, this voice was replaced by an electronic recording. Out of distress Margaret asked for this cassette tape from London transport company so she could continue listening to her husband's voice at home. After becoming aware of the moving history, the company decided to restore the announcement at the stop near where Margaret lives,at the Embankment stop of Northern Line, where all passengers can listen today and hear Oswald Laurence's voice and to think that eternal love really exists.

I am here cuz of a Facebook meme

I had to hear it after hearing the story of his wife and how she would visit just to hear his voice after he passed away. Beautiful love story

The story is so warm. It's so sad but the fact that they restored it and started using it again for his widow is just beautiful.

I was notified on instagram and was curious about it

Just find out the story of Lovely couples while scrolling down the facebook and immediately came to hear his voice .... ah what a legendary love 😍

Gap is huge

Lovely story

To this day from 8yrs ago I still say "mind the gap" when something that tiny is just as dangerous

If I’m being completely honest, I was expecting more of a strong British accent but maybe he decided to override the tendency to make it as clear as possible. beautiful story regardless

love the story, but it sounds like he’s holding you at gunpoint like “MIND THE GAP. MIND IT OR PERISH”

I came here cause I just read a story about this

Just came here after reading the story.How sweet

What a lovely story behind it! True love remains forever

I think they should use a recording of Hyacinth Bucket. She’s pretty good at getting Richard to mind the lorry. 😂

The story behind this Mind the Gap recording shows up on fb newsfeed and read about it. Am moved and teary-eyed at the same time. Curious as to what was on the recording since am from PH so searched on YT and felt relieved i found it here. Thanks to this person who uploaded it here. Listening all the way from Philippines.

Looking for this after reading about Margaret and her love for Oswald on David Hoffman’s channel.

Wonderful gesture by the authorities

Loved the story Eternal love

Discovered the story. I wanna know how to get here? I am from the US and will visit Paris soon. I wanna take a train to London and stop by at this station.

Wonderful story

i end up here after reading the article in Facebook

This love story inspired me to write a song called Mind The Gap. I wrote it sometime ago but only posted it last week. Always hoped that Margaret would get to hear it someday…

Anyone here after reading the touching story behind the recording and the reason for it to be still in use?? 🥲🥲

I was came here, because i saw a lovely Facebook post ❤️☺️ Margaret and Oswald... Through eternal love really exists)))

Such a majestic voice, yet so benevolent at the same time!

monika told me this story

*"Mind the gap. Mind to the gap. Stand clear of the doors please"* This is one of the most iconic recordings ever made and is up there with Thomas Edison's "Mary had a little lamb" and so is now considered a 'heritage' recording by English Heritage so is protected by law and a UNESCO Heritage recording.

His tone of voice just cracks me up. It’s so stern, I suppose rightly so

Why does 2014 look like the 90s?

I'm crying, you're crying, we're all crying

just read about this story, how sweet :’)

R.I.P.

Awesome London!

Very important. Trains can kill. Someone slid between the gap and died.

I still love this sound

Nice video 👍
