London Underground commuters fainting at 'alarming levels'
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-44953440
Since 2016, 825 people have fainted or felt faint while travelling on the Tube between 08:00 and 08:59, Transport for London (TfL) data shows.
The RMT union described the numbers of people fainting as "alarming".
Passengers raised concerns over heat and overcrowding, but TfL insisted it "constantly" tried to keep temperatures down.
Figures obtained by the BBC showed the most common day of the week for people fainting was Monday, closely followed by Thursday.
King's Cross St Pancras, the busiest station on the Tube network, recorded the highest number of fainting incidents between January 2016 and May 2018, followed by Green Park and Liverpool Street.
During the summers of 2017 and 2018, temperatures on the Tube soared to more than 35°C (95F) - hotter than the European Union limit of 30°C (86F) for transporting cattle.
For almost 30 years, I was forced to attend residential computer/management courses every summer (it seemed) at ICL Beaumont, Old Windsor:
Actually, with sports facilities and 3 bars, it was very enjoyable .....
However, returning home on Friday afternoons, I had to travel from Windsor to Euston Station, which meant a rail/Tube journey, carrying luggage with a massive hangover .....
The rail journey wasn't usually too crowded but, after I changed, at Paddington (IIRC), to Tube, the nightmare began .....
The journey, in packed carriages, took half an hour - within minutes, I was often sweating buckets but 3 times I actually passed out and had to be revived at the terminus .....
For those who have to do those journeys regularly, I have the utmost sympathy .....
