Silver Spring has 3 escalators on the south side of Colesville Road (two paired, one reversible) and 2 paired escalators on the north side of Colesville Road (as well as an elevator on the south side of Colesville Road). When you add these facts to the fact the platform is a short distance from street level (unlike the deep underground stations in many parts of the Metrorail system), I think there's sufficient access between street level and the platform at Silver Spring. I've never personally had a problem (except when that single escalator is moving in the "wrong" direction), and I use that station almost every day.
