A couple of weeks ago at ~ 21:00pm I arrived at Hammersmith to find that the district line platform westbound was occupied by a Piccadilly line train. There was no train at the Piccadilly line platform.
I've only ever seen this once before, and that was, similarly, a Pic line train at the district platform, but in that case it was eastbound.
Does anyone have any idea why this might happen?

Does anyone have any idea why this might happen? it is still possible to route a westbound PICC train from Hammersmith down the local line (pfm.1), there maybe a signal failure at Acton Town preventing trains from accessing any platform but the local line could be free. It is now not possible for an eastbound PICC to run local line from Acton Town to Hammersmith (pfm.4) (the westbound points are to be removed too) |

(the westbound points are to be removed too) I wonder why they did that? I remember a dead early turn at Northfields in the morning used to call all stations to Hammersmith. |
