The soaring temperatures on the London Tube over the summer months have been a issue for some years now. A London Underground team has attempted to come up with some engineering solutions to the issue by producing a groundwater cooling

system. The trial, which starts this summer, aims to make it cooler for passengers on platforms and will be tested at Victoria station which is so deep that it is effectively beneath water and pumps out 35 litres (eight gallons) a second, to stop it coming via the walls. The notion of the new technique is to push the water by way of a network of pipes into heat exchange units on the platforms, which will suck in warm air and pump out cooler air. The heat could be employed to energy properties and offices above and this way the temperature will be brought down.

But this is only a trial to be tested this year and it is far from becoming place into function as well as new trains with air cooling systems that are promised for Circle, District, Hammersmith and City and Metropolitan lines.

Meanwhile the temperatures in the deepest tunnels, reach 30C (86F) in summer.

These changes may well impact the London Tube in a drastic way. Some of the Tube lines might be closed specifically on the hot summer season days. London Underground assures that there are no plans to close any Tube Lines in the course of the summer time but in the future years it may get to the point "exactly where the underground will become literally intolerable and you could face the prospect of loss of life" as Mr Livingstone from LU suggested.

About 1,000 London Tube passengers had been trapped for nearly two hours when three trains were held up in a tunnel. The Central Line closed following signal failures stopped the trains among Marble Arch and Lancaster Gate. The trains have been evacuated and three individuals had been treated for the effects of heat.
