There are no such plans to close anything this summer.

I think Livingstone is just thinking aloud on this issue - which is
fair enough, given that much of the Underground system wasn't built
with the possibilities of sustained heatwaves in mind.


We're all getting too damn soft and the media don't help. When I was
a kid we just called it hot weather and got on with it. Now there are
endless announcements to carry water and if you believe the news
we're all about to suffer heat stroke. They'll be putting heat
councillors
on trains next :-)

The stress of not being able to get home will far outweigh the stress of
being a bit hot, so get Ken off his latest hobby horse and leave the
Underground running.

I could go on about the new improved London Transport that Ken promised
us would be bought with the congestion charge money, but I think he's
spent it all on community policing and the damn Olympics.
