Actual map can be seen either linked to from the above story, or

Its a bit odd - the central seems to be hot everywhere and the other lines
hottest in around the west end. Which must mean the heat is mainly down to
the passengers rather than the trains , otherwise the fully underground
victoria line would be the same temp everywhere.

It may also reflect the difference in ventilation between the various
sections of line. Things like the numbers of shafts, fan performance,
whether the stations have escalators straight down to platform level, etc.
