I don't think there's any doubt that the walkway from the cross-bridge to the Parliament Street entrance is double-width, based on the size of the doorway, but I don't believe the stairs to the platforms are much, if any, wider than those I saw at Quorn or Rothley a couple of weeks ago. Photos that show them show handrails on either side, as they are at Rothley and Quorn. The double-width flight of steps at Loughborough has a central handrail with brass studs on the top, the latter presumably to stop kids sliding down them. The 7ft dimension Brian found does tie in with the extant access stairs and, by Mark 1 eyeball, with the stairs at the few stations with entrances via a subway from below, like New Basford.
