The woman who comes to the train stop to see her dead husband
A woman who lives in London visited the Underground Station near her home every morning and sits on a bench on its stage became a familiar sight for people visiting the train station. She comes there every day to listen to the announcement recorded in the voice of her late husband playing daily at that train station. "Mind the Gap" which is always played for the safety of passengers was recorded in 1950.
Oswald Laurence, the husband of this woman, Margaret McCollum, died in 2003 and has stated that she would come here and listen to her husband's voice to erase her loneliness since then.
However, almost half a century later a tech company has renewed the soundtrack and started using a new sound instead of the old one. Saddened by this, Margaret has asked the London Transportation Authority to give her husband's voiced cassette.
London transport authorities who came to know about the fact she was demanding the voice and its history, were again working to broadcast her husband's voice at the train stop near the home she lives in. So even today passengers passing the London Embankment Railway Station will be able to hear Oswald's voice "Mind the Gap".
