Honestly I’ve been saying that for years during summer I
refuse to use the Victoria line hot as a sauna on that line 🫤

[worldwidelibra]

True Victoria is hot but I feel like the picadilly line is hot as hell as well

I use Central & Victoria on my commute. One has to consider, I think, how much time of their journey is spent above ground, how many people use the trains, number of potential points for air to exit and leave etc. The Victoria Line, for example, I think the only place where that goes above ground is its depot. It is also the 2nd busiest line in London. And it was built on the cheap.

Im guessing Victoria as hottest 🥵
Edit: YESSSS I WAS RIGHT! 🎉

When you tale the victoria line because it is fast and have to ignore the heat. "Yeah it'll be fine"

I once was stuck in the Victoria line for like 30 mins at least during September 2022. And i still remember how hot it was. Poor the old man standing next to us with Asthma 😭. At least he was laighing it off! :, )

(Still today I don't know what happened)

Back when I visited London in December, i was sweating on the Piccadilly Line.

Imagine how hot it got down there during ww2 when people used them as air raid shelters during the Blitz

I love getting in the underground. The heat feels like you're in an oven, but then when you get back up to surface, you get cooled off by the fresh air.

[PigeonsandCapybaras]

Ironic considering the Victoria line uses the most modern deeplevel trains on the network

[londonerwalks]

The Victoria is also one of the most efficient lines. Grin and bear the heat, it's worth it to get somewhere quickly!

The Victorian line is crazy it really feels like you've been pulled into a foreign country

[justacurb]

Bro i’ve just been on the victoria line and I can agree it is BOILING💀

[happyhappyjoyjoy]

All of them 🥵. Even if they dont put AC they all need moving air.

[JoelBloomfield-fn]

Recently during an accident at seven sisters trains had major delays and being stuck directly outside warren street on the Victoria was torture

[BLrin_itoshi]

I use it almost all the time when I’m at victoria

[Casper-gi]

The hottest line this year in 2024 is actually now the Bakerloo!

[chrisrichmond]

The question tho is why has it got hotter ? Newer rolling stock with all its modern features & A/C has added to the temperature ??

[girlygallmi]

For me it’s the central still I feel chilly on the Victoria idk why

[Henry-docu]

Before even watching this I’ve thougjt Victoria is the hottest, it’s comfortably a lot hotter than the rest
