More trains is what moving block will provide.

The piccadilly line tried to increase the number of trains a few years
ago and it was an unmitigated disaster. Trains taking 30 mins to go from
finsbury to arnos grove (personal experience). It took about a year for
the arrogant ****s to realise their mistake so I won't hold my breath
for moving block to improve things significantly. All it needs is one
train to take longer than it should at a station and the knock on
effect will kick off.

Does the Piccadilly have moving block signalling? I don't think so.
