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!

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.

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

the way down every so often it looks like the three slanted stripes of
Network South East

Im sure you complain about the rain without any reasonable

I know that rain is water and it falls from clouds in the sky, a

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.

Yes, but who owned the clouds before the Met Office was privatised?

Was the line previously British Rail?

They don't. They look like WAGN stock!

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!)

Given that platform edge doors also show passengers/customers (select
preferred description) where they must stand to board the train it seems tot
me that marking the tunnel wall or platform edge is a much more satisfactory
method.
