New signage outside Regents Park Station

These on the metal railings on the stairs going down?

Oh Right... I've been to Regents Park couple of times... better lifts than Russel Square anyways...

Haha, I bet. How many steps? Not that I count... just there is normally a sign discouraging people against the stairs.... "There are xxx stairs"

I imagine the station may have been popular in its early years - well to do people strolling in the park opposite, and the owners (and staff) of the adjacent residences less likely to have their own transport. These days, it is convenient for The Royal Academy of Music, the Royal College of Physicians, Harley Street and Holy Trinity Church, although not at all convenient for ZSL London Zoo which appears to be as close to St. John's Wood as it is to Regent's Park.
I used to find it a rather depressing hole in the ground (compared to previous work locations at Moorgate Met and North Ealing), but still a variety of rush hour regulars and a constant flow of tourists throughout the day. I actually found West Harrow quieter than Regent's Park.
