Default Strange Lights at Belsize Park

Pulled into Belsize Park yesterday and the station had a wierd blue
illumination. The tubes almost had the colour on a UV light. Very
wierd.
Any reason Tubelines are using strange fluorescent tubes.

Maybe they've got problems with junkies. After all, it is pretty rough

It's part of the Tunnel Cooling project. The thinking is that blue light
makes people feel colder...
