Thats why you have an arrow next to the word, which kind of gives a
clue that the exit is over there -



But it isn't - it's over there - then up ^ the lift then over there
- then
through the barrier, and then you have to choose _which_ exit...
So the platform signage should say "Exits"

I suspect it's Victorian pedantry that's been preserved to ensure
consistency, else you'd have to change all the signs at once.
Could a second reason for keeping it be that it makes
it easier to distinguish fire exits from normal routes, especially
with all the stuff now sticking out of Tube station walls and
obstructing the signs?
