A route between the GWML eastbound at Old Oak Common, and eastbound on the West Coast Main Line - it physically exists? But perhaps not for passenger use or not cleared for Class 80x for some reason?

A look at www.realtimetrains.co.uk shows that on Sunday 29th Nov 2026 a number of trains will be running to / from Euston (rather than Paddington) via Oxford Parkway, Bicester Village, Winslow and Milton Keynes.
And the same on Saturday 28th, and no trains using Paddington either day. The EAS, oddly, does not show (that I can see) possessions over all that time to justify that closure, but does have this cryptic note:
WORK DETAILS = MAINTENANCE. HS2 EXTENDED ALB AND 29HR 2TT
I take it that's an HS2 all line block, for something or other, and advantage is being taken of this for extended maintenance possessions. I just can't see any of those, only overnight ones that happen most weekends. Odd.
