Read diamond geezer's blog, and see what he says: I'd agree with him that the hideous blue blob-like wheelchair symbols are really what needs to go, to remove the clutter. He says:
Why do people who aren't as lucky as the rest of us have to go through yet more hoops to get maps with the accessibility information? Isn't it hard enough as it is using the tube? It is not just wheelchair users, it could be elderly people, etc that require them.

I do get the point that the current design about accessibility could do with some more thought as they look a bit cluttered (possibly deliberately so to make it easy to spot) but I don't think removing them altogether and producing a separate map is the solution.
