London Underground are utter cunts!!!
so the London Underground has been going for over 100yrs and STILL there's no fucking air conditioning on many lines!!

what the fuck are LUL & TFL playing at, apart from taking turns riding on Boris's fucking toy bikes?!?!?

I turn up for work most days looking like a walking globe, with the entire continent of Africa displayed on my back, with what looks to be Australia and New Zealand under each armpit, and random oceanic islands appearing on my chest, whilst other folk stand there waving a copy of Hello or OK! at their faces whilst I'm practically boiling from the inside!!

I'll give it to the folks who design tube trains, they can't manage to work out how to build a small air conditioning unit for each carriage yet they have managed to work out a way to build a 100 metre long microwave oven!!! refridgeration technology is hardly new!! I'm almost 30 and there's been a freezer in my family home since before I was born!!! it's not like the fridge/freezer was designed yesterday by the Martians!

utter fuckers, sort it out!!!

They have aircon on some Metropolitan line trains now
They will also aircon the circle and district lines and some parts of the central line, because these are either shallow or above ground

They can't aircon the deep lines. Since it's a basic thermodynamic balance, any suggestions where they'd put the extra heat generated from cooling the trains?

Well, outside the trains would be a start.
Surely there's enough points of contact with the outside world - in the stations - and movement of trains to vent the hot air?

Not really, no.
Unlike, say, the Paris Metro or the New York Subway, LU doesn't vent to the street all the time. And it really is too deep to retrofit big enough vents. At least without closing whole lines and the roads above them for months/years on end.

One of the first things I noticed
when using the new Overground line is the air conditioning. Oooh, lovely; especially on the warm summer's day that it was at the time.

As a bit of a sweaty git myself I feel your pain, but I think if it were possible it would have been done already. It's not like they've been using the same trains for the last 100 years....

It's nowhere near as easy as you think

Cheers
That's a proper explanation of what I was saying up there.
