Hi!
As I was using the Russel Square station during my London stay in mid march I was already then wondering, if this specific one couldn't be a bottleneck regarding evacuation in case of emergency. The Russel Square station exit that I know of is at Bernard street, right? Is there a second one? The only infrastructure "surface - platform" level are three(?) elevators and this very cozy narrow circular staircase with some 150 or so steps. In case of emergency - it's quite normal to not use elevators in such a case - how the heck is this station being evacuated. All the people running upstairs on this claustrophobic - for some probably - winding staircase? I cannot believe it, this is too hazardous. I don't think that "setup" would meet any emergency procedures or rules, and may they be unexpectedly low set. Did I miss anything important? regards Tadej -- .... aber auch bei Frauen hat das Großhirn tatsächlich eine Funktion ...
