I noticed when I last caught a Bakerloo Line train out of Waterloo that the automated announcements said "mind the platform-edge doors" I can see that this should apply on the local Jubilee line platforms, but on the Bakerloo? If they are adopting a one size fits all strategy, do they make the same announcements on the Northern and Waterloo and City Lines platforms!

They don’t announce “platform-edge doors“ on the Jubilee Line. It’s rather strange. Seems like something simple to change.

They're swapped between the Jubilee and Bakerloo platforms, and have been for a very long time.

Bakerloo talks about the PEDs, while Jubilee talks about minding the gap and standing away from the edge of the platform.
