The people behind the 'mind the gap' voices on the London Underground". 11 September 2020 . Retrieved 16 July 2021. Well, if we're discussing announcements on trains, may I briefly enquire why, nowadays in the UK, trains always arrive "into" stations? Combining live performance, film, photography, music and dance, CONTAINED explores those small moments in life that suddenly become meaningful: moments that teach us about ourselves, and the world we live in. As such, there is a need for more awareness of the ways in which people should actively work to reduce their CVD risk. There is also a need for more primary and secondary preventative support from health agencies, policymakers and nongovernmental groups.

New Jersey Transit uses signs on doors on all trains that read "Caution: Watch the gap" and an announcement plays "When leaving the train, please watch the gap" where applicable to warn passengers to remain cautious of the gap.The MBTA in Boston has added "Mind the gap" warnings near the platform edges in the 2016 renovated Government Center Station. On the Manila Metro Rail Transit System Line 3, a pre-recorded message is played at certain stations reminding passengers to "Watch your step and watch the gap between the train and the platform as you get on and off the train". This is simplified in its Filipino translation, which reminds passengers to be careful when boarding and alighting the train. In the New York subways, they have Watch The Gap signs. At the Union Square station, the platform used by the Park Ave IRT (the 4, 5, and 6 lines) is distinctly curved; to compensate for this they have a sort of metal lip that slides out to bridge the gap. The announcements on those platforms advise one to "stand clear of the moving platforms".

The phrase is used in Dhaka Metro's pre-recorded audio announcement in a female voice after stopping at the stations in both Bangla and English. In English, the phrase goes, "Please mind the gap". In Bangla, however, the audio announcement does not explicitly mention or announce the gap; therefore, the phrase goes as " দয়া করে নিরাপদ দূরত্ব বজায় রাখুন" ( romanised: Doya kore nirapod doorott(b)o bojaay raakhun) meaning "Please maintain a safe distance". Debt is also an option. Although there are no widely known examples of countries borrowing specifically for basic health programmes, the potential does exist—especially in countries such as Botswana where the debt-to-GDP ratio is low enough to allow for sustainable levels of borrowing over a long period of time.It's a pretty simple phrase and we all know what it means - reminding passengers to watch out for the gap between the train and the platform on the Underground, which to be fair can be quite big sometimes.

On many trains in Japan, the message " 電車とホームの間が広く空いておりますので、ご注意下さい" is spoken. This translates as: "There is a wide space between the train and the platform, so please be careful". The phrase " 足元にお気をつけ下さい" is also common, which means "Please mind your step".Listen here in Mandarin, Taiwanese, Hakka, and English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5X7lh5qNLXk Plaques on Toronto subway station platforms warn riders to "Mind the gap." Platform-edge decals warn passengers, 'Wide gap space, mind the gap when entering.' Similar warnings are affixed to the inside of carriage doors.

The phrase "Mind the gap" was coined in around 1968 for a planned automated announcement, after it had become impractical for drivers and station attendants to warn passengers. London Underground chose digital recording using solid state equipment with no moving parts. [2] [ dubious – discuss] As data storage capacity was expensive, the phrase had to be short. A concise warning was also easier to paint onto the platform. At almost all stations of SuperVia, Rio de Janeiro suburban trains, the driver announces " Observe o espaço entre o trem e a plataforma" ("Watch the space between the train and the platform"), and sometimes " Observe o desnível entre o trem e a plataforma" ("Watch the level difference between the train and the platform").
