Lately i have noticed that there has been alot of Piccadilly line carrages which are in service which have no on board annoucments and also no door closing warning sound. I thought this was quite dangerous consindering the fact that passengers will be casually walking in and the doors could just shut (More of a worry for elderly people who couldnt exactlly jump in/ push a closing door off them like a lot of younger people do) Are trains meant to have this worning sound to be out in service

You can tell they are about to close in any case as they start to hiss!

Door chimes should be working. I'm fairly certain that the Defective In Service Instructions state say that a lack of door chimes is a changeover to depot when possible, and train operator PA should be made.

Im Not Suggesting The Whole Train Should Be Out, Can They Not Just Swap The Carriages With Spares In The Depot. Easier Said Then Done I Guess Regarding the hiss, people such as tourists will not know about this and it isnt always that easy to hear it at very busy times in certain stations

The hiss noise will vary per door leaf, depending on how knackered the door engine is!
By changeover, it means that the defective train will go to the depot, the train operator gets off the defective one and gets on a good train, which will be offered for service by the depot. The defective train may then either be fixed or the train split (Piccadilly line trains are formed of 2x3 car trains) and remarshalled. It also doesn't mean that customers would be turfed off and left on the platform, there are some trains that are booked to reverse via depots, so the train operators and customers can simply swap over trains and still get to where they are going.

There's nothing like being turfed out at Northfields with your luggage when you're trying to get your flight to Ghana, and you're a little late Defective doors (like they don't shut or open right) is more serious than no warning noise, IMHO

Late running trains would be reversed at Rayners Lane, Ruislip, Acton Town, Northfields and perhaps even Hounslow Central, therefore creating delays in reaching destinations further out.

Agreed, Just Because The Incident Happened In One Area, Dosent Mean It Can only affect there, its the knock on effect

It would cause delays as trains already on the Uxbridge section and Heathrow section will have to turn short, making it a paint to regulate the service and get it back on track. Literally LOL

Literally LOL More so that there will be less trains overall, yet it is not as noticable in central London as there are more trains anyway. I'll hazard a guess is that the problem was on the westbound and that there were 'gaps' ahead of the incident and a number of trains stuck behind and now late. There will have been delays to all destinations in reality, but it doesn't look as good on the service status messages. Just to add as well, the problem at Wood Green was a 5mph speed limit (don't know in what direction), there were then further asset issues at Down Street and Acton Town. The latter of which is still occuring today.
