I've just seen that there is now an October 2019 edition of the tube map on the TfL website. There are only small changes so I presume this is digital only.
The changes since the previous version I'm aware of (dated July 2019) are, in the entirety: The Overground has moved further away from the Richmond branch of the District line, with Gunnersbury, Kew Gardens and Richmond stations now having two blobs each rather than one. The likely reason is so that Richmond can have two different symbols - step free to train for the district line (as previously) but now only step free to platform for the Overground. Richmond has also moved south slightly for an unknown reason (it was previously aligned so the label was vertically centred on midpoint between Parsons Green and Putney Bridge, now the label baseline is about level with the midpoint of the Thames between Putney Bridge and East Putney).
In consequence of the Richmond branch change Chiswick Park has moved west. In consequence of that, Northfields has moved north east (so it's label doesn't clash with that of Chiswick Park). There has also been a consequential minor change to the zone 3-4 boundary in the area.
West Hampstead (Overground) and White Hart Lane are now step-free to the platform.
Goodge Street has lost its dagger - presumably the lift works there are complete?

When WTT70 is introduced on 26.1.20, do our map gurus reckon Hainault-Woodford become a self contained line between end stops,as I seem to remember it was in the past, cf Epping-Ongar?

I doubt they will show it, as they don't show anything special at Kennington or Finchley Central, or indeed at Woodford where there are only a handful of through trains, but if they did they would want to show the step-free blobs so it would likely look more like this: (although with more even spacing between stations - I hope!)

It'd be interesting to see how they'd now show Epping-Ongar; presumably between wheelchair blobs at both terminals. although we all know that at Epping, the step free interchange isn't strictly true all the time! North Weald is also now step-free, but I don't think it was in 72.
