Why do Waterloo City trains look like old Network South East trains?

Eh? They look like Central Line trains to me.
Old Network South East trains are big, blue and have slam doors!

ISTR that they do (or did) have Network Southeast branding on the
trains, and the colour scheme is markedly different to the standard tube
corporate scheme.
The line used to belong to BR, and before that, the Southern, and the
original trains used to be in full NSE livery.

I thought the original ones were southern railway dark green.

I would have thought the *original* ones (we're on the third set of
trains since the line opened) would have been in LSWR colours.

Old Network South East trains are big, blue and have slam doors!

But are they still carrying NSE livery?

Yes, they are, and you can still see the bit on the train where the
Network SouthEast name and logo have been removed.

Not being an expert on such matters. But on the platform at Waterloo all
the way down every so often it looks like the three slanted stripes of
Network South East

That's where the door will be when the train stops and thus where you have
to stand to get on the train first, everybody then forms an orderly queue
behind you. (And unfortunately, yes I can remember when it was, exactly,
like that!)

I actually saw a W&C Line train as recently as a couple of months ago
which hadn't in fact had the name and logo removed.

local, whatever and they'll be equally assiduous. Good borders prevent
internecine warfare amongst the various tax collectors, which is too bad because
it'd be fun to watch. -- Greg Menke

They've got the old colour scheme, but the "network south-east" stickers
have been removed.

Was the line previously British Rail?

They don't. They look like WAGN stock!
