Default Russell Square Question II

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
