Why is the Victoria line so hot these days?

I've noticed the victoria line seems to be much warmer than the other
lines these days (or maybe it always has been but I've not noticed).
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?

The CCO (Coasting Control Override) trial might have some effect.
Whats this then?

I'm not sure if the CCO would be an issue - it's only enabled on three
stretches:
Seven Sisters - Finsbury Park (southbound only)
Oxford Circus - Green Park (southbound only)
Green Park - Victoria (southbound only)
For anyone interested this features keeps the motor going rather than
coasting once the train's reached its maximum speed. I think the heat
issue is more likely to be caused by people not opening the end of car
windows on a stock that, otherwise, has quite limited air circulation.
When the end-car windows are open at both ends I think the trains are
pretty reasonable temperature-wise
