Are there any interesting parliamentary services in London at the
moment?

That article lists the Woodgrange Park - Wilsden Junction service
as a parlimentrary one; I don't think it is. It's more of a peak
hours boost using the spare set, isn't it?

It uses IIRC two bits of track not used by other passenger services -
1-GOBLIN to NLL at Gospel Oak
2-NLL to DC line at Willesden
No.2 was devoid of passenger services long before the morning DMU was
running, being one of two ways of getting from Kensal Rise to
Willesden Junction with arrival at different levels/platforms so
possibly disqualified as a Parliamentary.
Did No.1 ever have a passenger service ?
