This is the Conversation Forum for Mind the Gap << Please mind the gap I don't mind the gap at all... >> Subject: Stand Clear of the Doors, Please. Posted Feb 19, 2002 by Parrferris - Clot   Posting 1 Oddly, you don't mention the annonuncement 'Stand Clear of the Doors, Please' which follows the 'Mind the Gap's. This invariably plays either minutes before the doors close, or as the train is accelerating out of the station. Despite the addition of 'please', the voice sounds even more commanding.
