I've noticed the victoria line seems to be much warmer than the other

Is this because the trains are more frequent , or they use up more
energy on ATO , or the tunnel ventilation isn't so good , or is there
some other reason?
Always has been hotter (well as long as i've been travelling on it).

I've asked this before on here, the answer i got was that it's to do
with the fact that the Vic line is completely underground and so the
trains don't have any fresh air to cool off in except when they go to
the depot.


I'm not convinced its because its completely underground. After all
the northern line is underground all the way from mordon to east
finchley and golders green. Quite long enough for the tunnels to build
up huge amounts of heat but its not as hot as the victoria line ,
which does have the surface exit to the depot near seven sisters
anyway.

Northern Line stations strike me as being generally bigger, maybe that
helps with airflow. Also, Victoria line is the busiest (isn't it) -
people are hot (en masse).
