Why do Waterloo City trains look like old Network South East trains?
Was the line previously British Rail?

Considering the obsessive levels of your complains about the London
Underground, you lack of even the most basic knowledge of it is quite
astounding.....

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.
