As much as I like the Victoria line I found it unbearably hot yesterday around 21.45. I'm actually quite surprised though it is 100% underground except for the depot. In the past I have found the central line unbearably hot too

In the past I have found the central line unbearably hot too The trains generate heat which doesn't dissipate easily in the small tunnels. The Central Line though has always been particularly bad. At some stations on the deep-level tube lines, where escalators have replaced the original lifts some of the lift shafts have been repurposed for ventilation. |

In the past I have found the central line unbearably hot too I mentioned it before but for the last couple of years, I’ve found the Victoria Line’s 2009 stock to be the worst for heat, they were decent before. The 1992 stock in comparison has become better IMO |

They probably think that putting pictures of cakes will encourage children to eat more cakes. Yet vape adverts on buses and at bus stops are fine... what ridiculous double standards! |

This is pure woke. They probably think that putting pictures of cakes will encourage children to eat more cakes. Yet vape adverts on buses and at bus stops are fine... what ridiculous double standards! Woke? Black Americans called, they want their word back. |

Woke? Black Americans called, they want their word back. Sorry I used the word without knowing what it means Thank you for apologising. The word "Woke" was used originally to denote being aware of, or "awake" to, racial prejudice and discrimination and was used widely by Black Americans from the 1930s onwards. The term was later applied more widely to other kind of social injustice, such as towards LGBTQ+ people. Unfortunately, recently the word has been turned by the right into a sarcastic shorthand insult towards people who tend to hold more liberal views. |

Too late the media has already hijacked that word and given it a new meaning 😂 |

How on earth could Black Americans want their word back. In all my years on earth, I did not know words were owned by people or even stranger a collective of one race. |

I know people have spoken about gaps in service from various lines but honestly what is going on with the transport nowadays.
You have the Jubilee, Northern and Central Line running on reduced times. The sub surface being a bit hit and miss. The Bakerloo Line 1972 stock on it's last legs. I honestly don't know how much longer they can hold out for before they fully give up the ghost.
Shortage of trams. It really is a mess looking around and bus cuts all around to save money. Not to mention the increased 20mphs on the roads. Good grief
