It's been cooler lately, Most of the time I keep my coat on. It was very
hot when I started using it a month ago. Not as hot as the central line
was in august though

Because there are no long, open-air, sections of line, which would otherwise allow the trains to sit in cold air at stations for long periods of time, and bring cooler air into the tunnels, et cetera.

Dont they at least have vent ducts which the movement of the train
would suck air through??

In the last Vic timetable I saw, every train was scheduled to spend some
time in the open air at Northumberland Park depot every third round trip...
but maybe they don't open the doors! Maybe they should be ordered to...

I've mentioned this before on this newsgroup. The most obvious
demonstration of this is at Highbury & Islington where the adjacent WAGN
platform is like a fridge compared with the oven-like victoria line ones
