Well of course it's legal, nobody's forcing people to get on, there are opportunities for us to get off every couple of minutes and we can take a bottle of water with us |

Perhaps it should be illegal to live in countries where the temperatures exceeds 35C?  The only time it ever becomes an issue is when there is a service disruption causing trains to be stuck in tunnels. There have been some potentially serious incidents over the years, notably on the Victoria line when quite a few people had to be treated for the effects of heat. |

The 92TS has exacerbated things, IMO. The 62s had head height ventilators through the cabs, whereby a rush of air was forced through the driving motor cars. There is now a dead end, a repository of hot, humid, stagnant air at the end of every DM - in one of which I had to sit between Liverpool St and Stratford the other day.
Also, the windows in the end of every car are "stopped" too high up.

What the article doesn’t mention is the greenhouse style windows which allow the temperature inside the train to rocket in the open air. This means that there is little or no opportunity for them to cool down. They fitted a type of film to the windows a couple of years ago to mitigate this, but I’ve no idea how successful it has been.
Modern trains also generate a lot more heat than their predecessors.

What are the reasons the trains can't stable overnight with the doors open?

What are the reasons the trains can't stable overnight with the doors open? On the rare occasions when I've brought 1992s into service early in the morning the interior temperature is the pretty much same as the outside temperature so leaving the doors open while they're stabled wouldn't make much difference. |

Do the new trains for the Picc line have air conditioning? If so, and if therefore the same trains are used for the central line, I don't understand the last sentence:

Not an earlies man then Shrugged? I've hardly used an alarm clock for seven years and since the introduction of WTT 69 I've rarely started before 15:00. Civilised |

If it was posted before the new pic train announcement, the air conditioning had not yet been confirmed. I presume this means some sort of air conditioning system, as has some other media outlets, though I am not exactly sure what "saloon air-cooling" actually refers to.: www.railmagazine.com/news/network/siemens-wins-94-train-deep-tube-orderAdmittedly however, I think TfL have worded it in such a way (i.e. ambiguous) that it may not be a conventional air conditioning system but rather an attempt to improve the air flow or reduce the heat created by the trains. Speculation: This may be because they want to avoid telling people its an air conditioning system until they have a working product. |
