<p>Ensuring the welfare of passengers and rail staff is a top priority for train operating
companies, including during particularly hot weather. The advice remains for passengers
to carry a bottle of water on all train journeys in hot weather, so that they can
keep hydrated. Most modern trains also have air conditioning installed to maintain
cool temperatures, but, where air conditioning is not available, operators ventilate
trains as best as they can by opening windows throughout journeys and train doors
at stations, where possible.</p><p> </p><p>For hot weather, an ill passenger or an
air conditioning failure, South Western Railways stocks water on most trains, and
will provide to passengers in those circumstances. South Western Railway also maintains
water supplies at key stations so that they can be added to trains during periods
of extreme hot weather, particularly at key stations on their longer distance lines.</p>
