‘Mind the gap’ – one of the most phrases once heard on several London Underground tube stations is set to return to one station.
Passengers standing at the platform at Embankment Underground station on the Northern line will once again be able to hear one of the famous phrases in London. What ’s more, it will be the original voice of Peter Lodge, the man who recorded the classic back in the 60s.
“Mind the gap - Mind the gap - Mind the gap. Stand clear of the doors please” is a part of ‘old London’ that is still fondly remembered by London commuters. It refers to the gap between the platform and the train. The phrase was introduced after it was deemed impractical for drivers to repeat the same announcement. It is being reinstated so the announcer’s can continue to hear her late husband’s voice when she visits Embankment underground station.
Lodge’s recordings were made in a recording studio in Bayswater. He had originally hired an to record the phrases but when the man demanded royalties he later re-recorded them himself. Over time they were gradually fazed out but for some reason continued to be broadcast at Embankment till last year.
Tube bosses recently received a letter from his widow saying that when her husband died she used to come to Embankment just to hear his . It was such a heart wrenching letter they decided to bring his voice back for her. Fantastic!
Next time you go to London consider a visit to the of the Northern line at Embankment on London Underground’s tube – just to hear ‘the voice’!
