Hot times on the tube

I’m looking forward to Mayor Ken’s upcoming announcement on how the TfL is going to reduce the temperature on the Tube.

Tube officials warned this week that if temperatures are high this summer, we are (predictably) going to be even more parboiled down the Tube.

A senior Tube source said: “This summer, if the weather is as hot as some are predicting, it will be difficult down there.

“We are going to be completely honest with passengers. We have a strategy for mitigating the worst of the hot weather but it is going to take years to implement.”

Pricy and hellish during rush hour, I’d say just avoid the tube except on lazy afternoons. Back to the bike, I’m afraid.

    Farnham is in Kent - you need to get a british rail train.

    None of five Farnhams are in Kent and you’ll be waiting quite some time for a British Rail train since privatisation . South West Trains go to Farnham (Surrey) from London Waterloo. You can catch the 9.53 am and arrive at 10.55 on a weekday morning. The otherfour Farnhams (Suffolk, North Yorkshire, Essex and Dorset) don’t have a railway station. Call Train Info 08457 48 49 50 for details. Bon Voyage !
