31 Cool Tubes of London Version A The first underground railway opened in London in January It slowly grew into the underground train system now known as the tube. Many residents use the tube to get to and from work every day. It is also used by many people who visit London. Visitors find it to be a cheap and easy way to reach the sights of the city. The tube is a popular way to travel around London. This leads to overcrowding at certain times. The summer months can be especially crowded. Many tourists visit London in the summer. They get packed into the small train carriages. There is little room to move and little air flow. The heat this creates is just awful, says Tara Wilcox, a London native. The London Transport Board has started taking steps to solve this problem. It is working to place air conditioners in some of the trains. It will continue to do so for the next few years. This is difficult in some lines because there is a lack of space for the machines. But the job will get done, said a member of the board. Almost half of London's trains should be air conditioned by Tube riders who were interviewed think this is a cool idea.
