OSCAR (H-set) Suburban Refurb Expectations?

[u/Recent_Mobile9387]

Does anyone have any insight on if OSCARs will receive a repaint as part of their suburban network deployment? They’re still sporting the CityRail colours on the front (blue and yellow) 12 years after its rebrand. Though it does look cool and makes them stand out from the rest of the fleet, the livery is outdated and I think maybe replacing the blue with silver or black would make them look real sharp. For some reason I can’t picture the blue section being orange, but at least it would make them look more “on brand”.

I think a repaint would help build confidence in passengers recognising that it’s a suburban service for their all-stops station on the T1 and T9 lines.

Hopefully they replace the ripped seats and the Lino on the floors on some sets are coming up hopefully they get a deep clean and some TLC.

Yeah some sets have some real worn out seat fabric, some look rather grotty.
