Default Carry too much on tube

A station i use every working day is Kings Cross underground, i use the exit

must look like Everest.

Having helped a few people to the top with there luggage my arm muscles are
developing nicely
but my back is suffering.


Two new lifts at KX (one in the old ticket hall, which takes you from
the top of the escalators up to subway level and the street, and one in
the new ticket hall, which leads from the platforms to subway level)
mean there is no need to carry heavy cases up steps from the tube any
more.

Most people probably dont know they exist. At the very least there
should be a sign in the mainline station directing people to the lift.
