I used this service yesterday and can confirm the return trip is still in existence but only to West Ruislip in the new timetable. This service starts from Gerrards Cross at 10:44 and calls at Denham, West Ruislip (where it has about an eight minute dwell in the platform loop) and then on to Padd platform 14 (usually). There is still a speed restriction between Greenford and Hanger Lane.
