That article lists the Woodgrange Park - Wilsden Junction service
as a parlimentrary one; I don't think it is. It's more of a peak
hours boost using the spare set, isn't it?
It uses a (short) stretch of line no other services use.
Yes, absolutly. Well, no other passenger services.
However "Using track that's not often used" isn't really the definition
of a parlimentery train, IMO. A parlimentry train is one that is
run to avoid the hassle of formal clousure procedures. That service
is a peak hours congestion buster.
