hi there, i cant think of anywhere that uses a stand clear message. All trams and trains use an alarm of some description, this is commonly known as a 'hustle alarm'. On some busy services the hustle alarm isnt enough to get passengers to clear the doors, and drivers and conductors take to shouting 'stand clear of the closing doors' down the PA system
