Piccadilly Line: No service between Hyde Park Corner and Arnos Grove
and between Rayners Lane and Uxbridge

Why no Uxbridge service?

Basic shuttle 15m service Acton Town Rayners Lane to link in with
the Hyde Park Heathrow shuttle.

All Rayners Lane trains will have to go via the sidings at Rayners
Lane and Acton Town, thus reducing capacity.

So why not just run some trains through to Ruislip/Uxbridge, restoring
the usual capacity/frequency? Too much stock trapped on the wrong side
of the blockage?

Precisely. Isn't it easier to reverse at Uxbridge or is there a shortage
of stock and depot capacity?

Also, where is the C stock that can't reach Hammersmith being maintained?
