Additional Tube Maps - Should there be only One?

The BBC reports on the availability of two new Tube Maps - one updates an existing “stair free” map, the other notes accessible restrooms. I’m all for more information about access, but wonder if a single useable map with all that information is possible?

I used to help build a haunted house as fund raiser. The head of the project always insisted we build to ADA regulations, even though we didn’t have to do so. (My Mom would visit in her wheelchair to test it before we went live. She got a real kick out of that!) The project lead argued, and I know understand quite well, that meeting ADA requirements often means better design for all. That should be true for maps, too.
