Does anyone know why the Bakerloo has been left out?


Just speculation, but presumably the trains would sometimes be unable
to use NR tracks overnight, thus limiting the service to south of
Queen's Park (which would limit its usefulness). But the main depot is
further north, at Stonebridge Park, which may not always be accessible
via NR tracks overnight.


Why would access to the main depot be needed? A few trains from the
evening shift would run all night, and London Road could deal with any
broken windows or other minor disasters.
