After another grim morning on Friday, I wonder why the ventilation
on the Victoria Line is so bad ? If you change to the Piccadilly at
Finsbury Park it's like entering a different world. So if the Picc
Line can stay reasonably fresh why can't the Vic Line ? Even with
the trains at full hurtle little air seems to move about the
carriage.

The Victoria Line is completely underground, except for the depot.
The Picc has several open air sections.


Which makes it sound unlikely the refurb and new trains will help.

I think the Picc's 73 stock has the best ventilation system on the
Underground currently. Hopefully the new Victoria Line stock will be even
better. I know they've done a lot of work to improve ventilation in the new
design. Time will tell ...
