Money for nothing cover at Piccadilly Circus
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.
he died in 2007
Love IS eternity.
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
0:29
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
what are you on about mate
The accent is Received Pronunciation (RP), you don’t tend to hear it nowadays but have a listen to recordings of Queen Elizabeth. I love hearing this Tube announcement!
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
You have literally copied and pasted that off the story I've just read online
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.
City mapper.
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…
Where can we listen to it ?
@@303Georgo it’s on CZcams. Search up Rhys Wood Mind The Gap. Thanks for asking.
Here is the link. czcams.com/video/btbK4bmsgqE/video.html
Anyone here after reading the touching story behind the recording and the reason for it to be still in use?? 🥲🥲
Yes..I read the story and this video brought me to tears😭
Sure ended up here after reading the story
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
it's from the 50's any PSA/Announcement from this era was quite stern after all X3
Why does 2014 look like the 90s?
Lol I realised videos as late as late 2013/early2014 have that old look idky???
I'm crying, you're crying, we're all crying
just read about this story, how sweet :’)
Same here
I came from reddit
@@death2304 Same here.
R.I.P.
Awesome London!
Very important. Trains can kill. Someone slid between the gap and died.
they need mechanical gap fillers
They didn't listen to Oswald
@@ed2345 thank you Ed
I still love this sound
