Hendy sets out plans for cooling Tube

摘要

London's transport commissioner Peter Hendy has attempted to ease mounting passenger criticism of high temperatures on London Underground trains by confirming that action is being taken and users are already reaping the benefits. He said: 'We are working hard to overcome the unique and considerable challenge of cooling the Tube.' Hendy said achievements included the roll out of new air-conditioned S stock trains on the Metropolitan Line, as well as plans for 40 per cent of the Tube network to have air conditioned trains by 2016.
