Office schemes could offer solution to overheated tubes

摘要

Future passengers on London Underground could find their tube trains being cooled by power recycled from the office developments above them, under ambitious plans being worked up in the capital. Transport for London (TfL) has been struggling for two years to find ways to reduce the intense heat on the underground, which can reach 37? in summer. Now, embryonic plans being developed by the mayor's agencies could lead to power being generated for redevelopments at King's Cross, Euston and Waterloo stations.
