September 30, 2008
Millions of commuters experience hot and sweaty tube journey while ridding the London Underground- The-Tube. To provide succour, London Mayor Johnson unveiled the first air-conditioned London Underground trains thereby bringing an end to the commuters’ torrid journey woes.
“I can assure passengers who will use them that we hope, rather than arriving at their destinations drenched in perspiration, they will emerge cool as cucumbers and ready to enjoy all that the capital offers,” London Mayor Boris Johnson said. This will ensure that the hot and sweaty journey on the Tube will be relegated to history and be a memory of the past.
The air-conditioned trains will serve the 150 year old Underground’s Metropolitan line beginning in 2010 and additional lines later. By 2015, they are all expected to be up and running. Underground’s 40 % of net the network will be covered where the trains will operate.
The new trains that will be added to the oldest parts of the railway will have nearly 20% more space. They are part of a ₤3 billion ambitious upgrade project. In the meantime, London, Underground is scouting for finding untapped water sources to cool the hottest stations. Presently, water from the river Tyburn is used to drive cool air through Victoria station. Even a alternative solution is considered of putting of ice underneath train seats that will release chilled air into carriages. Forty industrial fans will be installed this summer. It’s a cool beginning for a cooler journey.
