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.


I agree that much of the heat is down to the passengers, but I
wouldn't expect the Victoria line to be a constant temperature as many
of the trains will actually spent sometime above ground when reversing
at Seven Sisters (not sure if all trains are diagrammed to do this at
some point during the day though).

I personally find the Central line more comfortable on a hot day than
the Victoria, which might be down to better in train ventilation.
