The ideal solution would be escalators. I presume the fact that the
lifts have survived so long is an indication that the site isn't
suited to the extra horizontal space required for escalators and
that conversion would be seriously costly in terms of the
building/tunnelling work involved.

That's my understanding also, the surface building would need to be
located
elsewhere in the vicinity.

Erm, how about Leicester Square.

(Here we go round again).

Just far enough away to be annoying, from the point of view of someone who
has difficulty walking.
