They have used water cooling from rivers in some stations (I can't find the source, but I think it was a previous ianvisits post).
Unfortunately only a couple of stations have an appropriate water supply, and enough free vertical shaft space to fit the pipes.
- twic 9y agoThere are some details on that in the Ian Visits article linked to in another comment. There was also this, from 1938, although i don't know where they got the water: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tottenham_Court_Road_chiller https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tottenham_Court_Road_chiller
- inetknght 9y agoThe article even mentions it! > Elsewhere, they’ve been using cool ground water to cool some of the stations. An experiment at Victoria station was the first, as water from the River Tyburn was used to cool the air in the station. This was only an experiment, but at Green Park, a permanent version was installed in 2012.
