They were certainly NSE trains, but approximately tube gauge. The
current 92 stock are still in NSE livery.

Er - when did you last go on the W&C? Last time I went, at an
Open Day a few years ago, the line were in ordinary LUL livery.

You must be mistaken. The Waterloo and City line definitely still has
trains painted in NSE livery.

It must have some that aren't then as well, because the trains I've
traveled on definitely weren't NSE livery

I've travelled on both, so presumably there some sets with NSE livery
and some with LU roundels over the previous livery. (Note that the stock
still has the blue doors and fronts from NSE days as opposed to the red
doors and fronts that are standard elsewhere on LU).

If you look on the backs of the cars you will find the original 483

I thought the stock was identical to the '95 stock on the Central Line?

It started off identical, but both fleets have now diverged in somewhat
different directions, due to different operating environments.

(should be 92 stock)

It started off identical, but both fleets have now diverged in somewhat
different directions, due to different operating environments.

ISTR the number of modifications performed on the Central fleet only, plus
the number of modifications performed on the W&C fleet only, is over a
hundred.
