Coming from southbound platform at Tottenham Hale there is an
escalator up to the bridge and very few steps at the other side of the
bridge, then escalators down to the vic line platforms.

I can picture the escalators down to the Victoria Line. Are the steps
down fewer than would be required from bridge level to [northbound NXEA]
platform level?

yes, the ticket office floor level is IIRC a few steps down from the
bridge, the northbound platform is about twice as many steps again.
If memory serves me well, I've used the station probably half a dozen
times in the two years I've been here and never with alot of luggage.

I was there yesterday and counted 20 steps off the bridge down to the
ticket hall, more than I remembered. All other steps there are
avoidable.

I'm glad the record's been set straight here. It's a few years since I
was at Tottenham Hale (I had a client in an office nearby, when I was
working from Cambridge) but I didn't recall the Underground ticket
office being as high up as originally described.
