Default Tube accessibility question, Russell Square and Gloucester Road

Hello, I'm visiting from rec.travel.europe and rec.travel.asia

Could anyone tell me if either the Russell Square or Gloucester Road
stations would present entry/exit problems if I'm carrying a standard
wheeled suitcase of 15kg or so. Hotels are nearby.


According to an old accessibility spreadsheet that used to be online but I
think is no longer the

Russell Square has about 20 steps up from the platform to the lifts, which
then take you up to street level.

At Gloucester Road, the District and Circle Lines have 36 to 40* steps up
from the platform to street level. The deeper Piccadilly Line has 27 steps
up from the platform to the lifts, which then take you up to street level.

* [The spreadsheet says 36 from the Circle and eastbound District, but 40
from the westbound District, which seems unlikely, but the numbers are about
right.]
