It turns out that for Saturday and Sunday, the District Line is shut

the only three serving the Chiswick Park / Gunnersbury area, I'm
wondering if it was necessary to shut all three at the same time,
when no track or structure is used by more than two.

Could be that all three services share the same metals at some
point?

I just said that they don't. They could conceivably share the same
power section, although it would be very poor design if they did.

What about the signalling? Also, what about where the District passes over
the NLL at Acton?
