During the hot spell last week the announcer at Westminster Tube was
advising passengers to carry bottled water with them.

As far as I know the tube has been operating for over 100 yeras
without any seriious incidents of dehydrated passengers. Have the
operators now lost confidenc in their ability to get people to their
destination within a reasonable time?

No but the very serious incident at Highbury and Islington caused the
whole issue to be reviewed. AIUI provision of appropriate advice when
there is hot weather is part of the recommendations from the
investigation.
