When could you change to the Metropolitan at Aldgate East?
 

I caught a District from Barking to West Ham this evening (one of the
refurbs) and looking out the window at East Ham noticed that the Next
Train display told me that it was District for Tower Hill and Victoria
(I think) but then at the bottom said "Change at Aldgate East for
Metropolitan trains". I checked at Upton Park and it said the same.

I can't remember when Metropolitan trains went to Aldgate East...

That sign is from before the Hot and Cold was formed when it was still
the Met.

Could have been from when the Hammersmith & City was part of the Met
Line? It changed in 1990 IIRC.

There was also I believe an Uxbridge / Barking service at one time

Not since the end of steam on the Met.

I can. When I lived in East London in the early 1980's, there were a
couple of morning peak services from Barking , with a couple of
corresponding ones in the evening.

There will have been others in the past as well, because the East London
Line was part of the Met and used to have through services (well before
my time).
