I spy two errors, plus a clumsy repetition.

Three weeks ago, I took some photos from almost the same spot.
The signs are missing from my shots, so I wonder if they are new.

Perhaps Maz should do the signs from now on.

Note the train cab front seemingly attached with masking tape

How did underground users manage to survive for so long without railings with pointless notices on them, and painted yellow lines on the platform? All hail the mighty H&S, our lords & protectors!

I really do find it a bit frightening at Reading though, when the fast trains pass through. I know they can't be going that fast but it feels like a supersonic boom.

...and we don't want to have to call an ambulence.

Tim,
There should be a full stop after the word "line" and "turbulance" is actually spelt "turbulence".

"Back" in the first line is unnecessary too. Waste of paint :)

In reply to CornishCockney, Underground trains do not run through stations at 100 mph+, as they do at Ealing Broadway...

In reply to Tony Martin, very few trains run through Platform 4 at Ealing Broadway as most of them actually stop there. If such signs are needed at all, they would be far more useful on Platform 2, which is on the up fast main line and where all HSTs and the majority of other non-stopping services pass.

...not too mention that the comma after turbulance [sic] ought to be a semi-colon.
And by the way, I don't know the platform, but it seems to me that if you're looking at this sign, and decide to follow the instruction to get *behind* the line, you'll actually be getting *closer* to the edge of the platform behind you...

..in reply to an earlier comment, 92 tube stock does indeed use duct tape as standard throughout the fleet. Its well known for its build quality :d

So many errors... an unnecessary 'back' for starters. in fact the words 'Stay behind' would be an improvement to my mind. This may count as two errors; maths isn't my strong point. There's a lack of a full stop after the word 'line' but an appropriate use of a capital letter to follow. After the word 'turbulance' there should be a full stop, and the phrase 'stand well back' is unnecessary repetition.
The word 'turbulance' is of course spelt correctly, and should never on any account be mixed up with the spelling of the word 'ambulence'.
