London Underground

I’m not sure how many of you here checked this youtube video out before but this is definitely a must-see! And it suits commuter chronicles’s theme the best!

I got this chance to travel to London during the previous winter break (after I had come to know this song) and it was quite funny to really experience a ride in the tube. What sang inside the video is all so true, except the part that chewing gums are everywhere on the seats as I only managed to experience the newer ones..

To talk about London Underground, you MUST mention the favourite phrase “MIND THE GAP”. It is even made into keychains, postcards and etc. Even thou the song is a little bit rude about the tube but don’t know why, I enjoyed the tube ride even more, maybe it is because I was humming the song all along! “London Undergroundddd~~”

So is this “mind the gap” phrase used only for London tube? Any other MRT in the world using it, whatever language it could be in?

QTpie and Harry,

haha.. Let’s create something like for our own Malaysia rapid too! What are we suppose to sing about? Trains getting stuck in mid air every evening during peak hours? Lol…

jenna k,

I’ve been there and I think the condition is better than what they sang. But I was around the center. I think what they sang refers to some other routes maybe. The song is just for fun!

Khyle,

Thanks! I hope I found something like this to share with you all next time!
