Overheating on the Tube

I've been on underground lines in other countries that get as hot or hotter than London does in the summer and have never noticed any undue heat. I think a lot of it has to do with the original constuctions methods. Some places such as Budapest and Paris are cut and cover, with the stations not far below the surface. But both these were constructed not long after London and I've never found them to be as hot as parts of the District/Circle in high summer. The Paris stations are quite large, but many of the Budapest one are rather small. Merseyrail is always pleasantly cool in summer, and I believe this is in part down to groundwater - so the story on the BBC website about cooling that may be helpful. Neil |
