Are there enough stickers on the inside of the doors?
No, they clearly need to borrow some of TPE's "Smile, you're on CCTV" stickers to put on the doors.
(At least, when they get round to installing the CCTV.)

Whilst the repaint, deep clean, repholstery etc will be welcomed, I bet there will be a fair bit of dissapointment from regular commuters that there's not been aircon, power sockets or wifi (in that order) added.
Yeah it has.has it been formed up into a 12 car with a standard FCC livery unit and one of the old advertising units yet? That would be a sight to behold...
What I really would like to see is the hopper windows locked, and only opened if the vents fail, as the units tend to be very loud inside when they're open.
The livery itself isn't too bad however whoever applied the First Capital Connect stickers could do with getting their eyesight checked.. On the West side of the coach at the London end the logo isn't centred, it's a third down the carriage whilst on the rest of the unit they're all centred. Aside from that little nit pick the only other bad point is the front end, which has of course been designed to look as similar to the 700 as possible - unfortunately it really doesn't suit the 365's.
Having seen the unit various times now I'm still not sure about it.. the decision for carpets in the vestibules and very pale lino in the actual carriage still baffles me for starters. First Class is rather nice though.
Clearly someone who has not suffered the experience of getting on one of these things on a hot afternoon, when the only way to get an even vaguely sensible temperature is to open every single window and get a good draught blowing through.
Funnily enough, as someone who has lived in Cambridge for nearly eighteen years, I have travelled on 365s many times on hot summer days. I generally find the ball vents to be effective, although it probably varies from unit to unit how well they work.
on another note, is anyone aware of whether another unit has gone away for overhaul yet, and if so which one?
Looks like some videos are floating around YouTube of a White FCC Class 365. It appears to have differing interior and slightly modified Front?
Is this ready for the New TOC to take in September?
Guessing these trains will be branded Thameslink again? what a joke

Smart livery, much better than FCC's. Isn't it rather similar to the soon to be outgoing Southeastern though?

I don't think that that user has realised SouthEastern are due to have an extension until 2017 I think.
