I first regularly travelled on the District in September 1968 when I travelled between Barking and Mile End to school.
I remember that some of the trains were quite elderly with celestory roofs and straight sided doors that did not seem to be entirely lined up with their, presumably, worn out rollers.
Any ideas what these may have been anybody?
I also recall that it was considered somehow beneath our dignity to ride in such obviously clapped out antiques and that we would wait for a more modern outline train to continue our journey.
Before long we discovered the relatively remote platform 3 for the empty metropolitan line train for even more comfort.
