A hyper-realistic, split-screen style editorial illustration. Left side: A gritty, sepia-toned 1900s scene of a steam train in a tunnel, with a "Cooler Below" poster visible on the tiled wall, evoking a chilly, damp atmosphere. Right side: A sleek, modern futuristic tube tunnel (Piccadilly line style) with cool blue LED lighting and heat-map overlays showing red heat dissipating into blue, signifying ventilation.
