I recall these used to be a prominent feature of peak time destinations. When were these removed? It seems this is a very useful turning point

Weren’t they reinstated for a while after 2012?

So tempted to say they got sent back in time to kill the leader of the resistance before he was born...

On a similar note, do trains still stop short at Hillingdon? I recall many of the boards used to display "Uxbridge/Hillingdon" (or vice versa, I forget) and I think this was to cover all basis in case a train terminated one stop short at late notice?

The direct route from Hillingdon to the sidings was removed in a track rationalisation just a few years ago.
Hillingdon is still available as a destination in the S stock TCMS/CIS though. I imagine it's still available on the Picc trains too.

Interestingly, some of the platform indicators say Hillingdon / Uxbridge still. I recall this is because the signalling system doesn't know if it's going to Uxbridge or Hillingdon?

Yes - the system cannot differentiate between them.
