I'm considering braving the train into work tomorrow and can't decide if it's a bad idea or not. If you did use today is best avoided or not as bad as you thought it might be?

You couldn’t pay me to travel on one of the non air-conditioned tube lines in this weather.

Northern line (slightly after rush hour) was OK. Central line was pretty hard work.

Thank you - I'm thinking I might just leave for work earlier than usual and leave a bit later to avoid crowds. My flat is so hot I can't get anything achieved and at least work will have a/c once there

I was on the tube today on an air-conditioned line early in the morning. It was fine, a handful of people. I didn’t want to chance it later in the day so I took a bus for the return journey.

That doesn't sound too bad. Great, thanks. I think I'm going to chance it.

DP said Jubilee line was boiling but empty. District line lovely and cool and also really empty. No delays.

Some lines are always hotter than others though, the central line for example is like a sauna in the winter, let alone a heatwave!

Thankfully most of my journey is on the newer lines so air con

Tube was fine today ime. Go in early as poss 6.30- 7 am if you can and then leave early too and it should be ok. I’m tubing tomorrow too.

Victoria line was fine. Piccalilli fine on the way in, delayed on the way home but I got lucky and didn't wait long. Neither was especially hot.
