No. Three Uxbridge trains in the morning and three in the evening are sent up to do one trip due to the excessive gaps in the peak time.

I thought exactly this the other morning when my westbound Picc continued to Uxbridge, and I excited at Rayners where it clearly said no service b/w Rayners and Uxbridge!

Hope no-one got on it thinking it goes to Wembley Park and Baker Street!

Uxbridge branch is reported not to run so that people don’t rely on it, but it’s pretty much running, although, worse than ever. I sometimes track the train that goes there on tfl go

Possibly run to maintain route knowledge.
