Tube could close in future heatwaves
Edward Cowling London UK wrote: In message .com, Mizter T writes http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/5143388.stm 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. -- Edward Cowling London UK Something that I have always puzzled over is that if people now wander off for more than 5 minutes from their home they have to take water with them to prevent dehydration. My journey into work this morning was an hour and a half, I drank tea before I left home and I reached work without dieing of thirst. Kevin |
