Temperatures on London's public transport network climbed above 37°C during the UK's third heatwave of the year, prompting commuters to describe buses and underground trains as "saunas" and raising concerns about passenger safety. Footage recorded on Thursday showed thermometers on parts of the network reading between 29°C and 37°C, while travellers reported stifling conditions and a lack of air conditioning. Some passengers said the extreme heat had caused health issues, including an elderly commuter who reportedly collapsed on the Bakerloo line. The latest heatwave has disrupted transport services across Britain and pushed the number of days exceeding 34°C in 2026 to a record high, intensifying calls for climate adaptation measures and improved cooling systems on public transport. #london, #heatwave, #ukheatwave, #londontube, #underground, #publictransport, #breakingnews, #weather, #extremeheat, #climatechange, #londonnews, #uknews, #commuters, #transport, #heatcrisis, #europeheatwa
