So this hot weather here in the U.K has finally cooled down giving us all some kind of respite plus of course lots of rain and flooding. Even our house here took quite a while to cool down. Just coming in from the shops yesterday our front hallway entrance was still containing heat that has built up over the last few weeks. And they say that the warm weather will return next week.
But something that frustrates many Londoners is why in 2018 we simply don't seem to have the technology to keep our London Underground cool at the height of Summer. And the worst Tube Line as everyone will tell you is The Central Line. In a London heatwave the Central line is pure Hell! Okay so I made up the picture below, but I'm surprised travellers don't vandalize Station signs on this Line. And yet every other few years London Underground tell us that they might have a solution but nothing ever comes out of it. Last week while travelling about on the Tube I risked a section of the Central Line and I saw several commuters carrying digital thermometers and taking pictures of the readings, no doubt for their twatter and Fussbook pages. In fact several of the pictures can be seen online. Here's one below. |
