How about sending them to Northfields? There are 4 tracks between
Acton
Town and Northfields, so it shouldn't affect the Piccadilly too
much.

Isn't one of these a test track?


Not any more - it was recommissioned for normal passenger train use
in 1995, though, for operational convenience at Acton Town, almost
all eastbound trains use the fast line.

But isn't it still used as a test track on occasions? There have been
several reports here in the last year or so, some of them mentioning the
water spray that is used to test braking in the wet. But this shouldn't be
a block to its eventual use for passenger service.
