💨 Abstract

In a 34°C heatwave, **several Thameslink trains got stuck** due to technical faults, with passengers having to walk along **sizzling tracks**. On one train, passengers felt "slow cooked" for over an hour with no air conditioning. Concerns were raised due to the extreme conditions. The UK Health Security Agency issued amber alerts, warning of serious health risks, particularly for the elderly or those with pre-existing health conditions.
