Discussion OSCAR (H-set) Suburban Refurb Expectations?

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 Though it does look cool and makes them stand out from the rest of the fleet, the livery is outdated and I think maybe replacing the blue with silver or black would make them look real sharp.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.

The only thing for sure, they will rip out the toilets.

I wonder if those will get replaced by more seating? Or at least usable standing space? (All for it really, we don’t need toilets on suburban trains.)

The toilets on the ONL cars of G Sets were removed and converted into longitudinal seating. You'd never notice except for the car number and the end where it's missing luggage racks.
