LUL^▸ have a system for air conditioning tube trains (i.e the ones in the small dia, deep tunnels).

The compressors will be off in the tunnels, so no condenser heat will be emitted.

I think you are talking about an idea that has been proposed. It doesn't exist yet, and until it is specified for a new fleet, it remains theoretical...

It has been tested and proven, so it's certainly not theoretical.

You are absolutely right to point out that the new stock (and its specification) doesn't exist yet.

William Huskisson MP^▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.
