Cooling stations and trains, but having the trains shut off their heat-generating capacity while within the station areas, with something to attempt to remove residual heat from their equipment, all the while finding a way to let the tunnels absorb and/or shunt the heat from the active system encountered therein.
The heat is transferred to the air, and given there are trains moving through the tunnels, the air would just be pushed into the stations. Heat in stations is apparently a big issue, some stations I've been in with air conditioned trains were quite unbearable, sauna like temperatures.
