Plan to cool the tube in doubt after collapse of Metronet

摘要

Plans to cool the tube and upgrade stations are in doubt after the collapse of the Metronet consortium, it emerged this week. Transport for London (TfL), which will take over maintenance of the lines early next year, said a £150m cooling system for the network was under review. Groundwater cooling trials were carried out at Victoria station last year and extended to other stations this year. Further testing was expected next year, but may not go ahead.
