If I counted correctly (unlikely) http://traintimes.org.uk/map/tube/
suggests that there are 35 Picc trains at the moment. The normal number

The wheel lathe must have been busy, as they've now added an infrequent
shuttle service to Rayner's Lane:

Normal service is resumed then.


Distinctly unusual service actually: there's both the 20 min train shuttle
service *and* a rail replacement bus service. The latter has the usual
motley selection of vehicles in many liveries, including at least one RM.
The bus service has an unusual route, usefully stopping at Hanger Lane
Central Line station instead of Park Royal. Some of the buses display the
BR arrows instead of the LU roundel.
