New LU toilet map

There is a new yellow poster and leaflet describing accessibility
facilities. I have a file of toilet locations and was interested in new
information. The map is at
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/toilets-map.pdf which should be
read in conjunction with
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloa...seful-informat
ion.pdf and taken with a lot of salt. e.g. Colindale is falsely alleged
to have customer toilets; those at Harrow & Wealdstone are not mentioned;
those at Turnham Green (where the alleged accessible toilet does not exist
and why would it at a station without step-free facilities) are
permanently closed in response to vandalism. I have started communication
with .
Information here might save me visits to the following stations:
Canning Town DFM - I suspect they refer to bus station
facilities
Fairlop FM
Heathrow Terminals 1, 2, 3 DFM
Hounslow Central FM
Ickenham FM
Leyton DFM
Morden FM
Roding Valley FM - implausible. Also quietly step-free!
South Ruislip D
Uxbridge ? - closed during station refurbishment on
my last visit
This is typical of the sort of information I have and want more of:
Leytonstone Disabled absent; 05.30-21.00 Female Platform 3
(eastbound); Male Platform 2 (westbound)
Richmond F1; M2; BDFM by gateline next to 6. 0.20; Radar exempts.
My information is incomplete. e.g. When I spoke to the Station Supervisor
at Turnham Green, I was told toilets at Stamford Brook shut at 19.00. Lack
of a notice of that means I don't know about it.
Today, I found something new in kind:
Ealing Common FM 0.20 token from ticket office to use staff toilets; F
on 1W; M on 2E
Where the map refers to facilities which don't exist, I have followed up
my email to TfL with information to the Station Supervisor. The one at
Warwick Avenue photocopied my map and was very interested.
The signs on the toilet doors, inside the gates, at Wood Lane were
covered with white paper when I visited, yesterday. My RADAR key gave me
access, which Westfield, who are snagging the station, did not intend I
should have.
My interest in out of station interchanges is closely related to my
interest in toilets. I don't see that spending a penny during an
underground journey should cost an extra fare.
