Full details in the TfL press release at:

The press release says, amongst other things:

"The closures will result in no service on the Piccadilly line from Acton
Town to Hyde Park Corner, with a reduced service on the rest of the line"

They don't mention the reduced service on the rest of the line again; any
idea what the service to the east of Hyde Park Corner is likely to be
like? Or to Uxbridge?

The release also says:

"Customers can still travel between Central London and Heathrow on the
Underground via the Central line to Ealing Broadway then the District line
shuttle to Acton Town which will operate at a frequency of three trains
per hour and then the Piccadilly line to Heathrow Terminals 123"

Well, that's great. However, given that it takes 6 minutes for a train to
fo from Ealing Broadway to Acton Town, how on earth does the shuttle work
out at 3 tph? Even if it was worked by just one train, taking 6 minutes
either way and having a 3-minute rest, that's 4 tph!
