Default london tube - no AC

Does anyone here know if most European cities don't have AC on their
underground train system. or is it just London?


The Paris metro doesn't and AFAIK most or all others in Europe don't
either.

We are regularly informed by others in this ng that air conditioning of
the trains operating deep level tube routes would be impossible as their
is little space in or under the trains for the units to fit plus no where
for the dispersed heat to go to.
