During the hot spell last week the announcer at Westminster Tube was

As far as I know the tube has been operating for over 100 yeras
without any seriious incidents of dehydrated passengers. Have the
operators now lost confidenc in their ability to get people to their
destination within a reasonable time?


Might be a good idea if they put vending machins selling bottled water
on the tube rather than the endless chocolate and sugary fizzy drink.


They already do - almost all of the machines I have seen (notably the
ones at KxSTP/Gloucester Road WB) all sell Coke, Diet Coke and bottled
water. Whether or not there is anything in the machine is another matter.
