Clearly that doesn't include the people I work with, most of whom have remarked that the deep Tube lines at least are noticably cooler compared to the wave of heat that hits you when you exit. -- like the opinion of half a dozen nhs pen-pushers matters, you fat ****. |

Merseyrail (Liverpool) isn't - but for some odd reason the tunnels are always much cooler than the outside temperature. I would guess this would have to do with the loading gauge (more or less full main-line size - not to mention the hugely impressive and cavernous James St station), and possibly its position in relation to the water table providing some cooling? It is reputed that a recently-refurbished Merseyrail unit has been fitted with aircon, but I haven't seen confirmation of this so I'm not sure where it will lead. Similarly, Hamburg's U-bahn is not air-conditioned, but despite being close to the surface the stations are generally at a reasonable temperature. Neil |
