First i've heard of it, other than as fanfic here. What makes you think
this is going to happen?

If the truth can be told so as to be understood, it will be believed.

Whats to be gained from having District line trains as opposed to Picadilly
line trains running to Uxbridge?

A higher frequency on the rest of the Piccadilly I guess, because the
line will be shorter in the end, while there would be enough
sub-surface stock to extend the District back to Uxbridge.
This would be a very unattractive service for everyone from North
Ealing to Uxbridge though, since virtually all of those people will
want to get on the express. It doesn't make much sense to make the
longer line the slowest one here, and the shorter (Ealing Broadway)
line the express.
