Yes, a refurb is planned. I'd expect the seats to be retained (nothing wrong with them) but for new base foams and covers on the /1s, and new covers only on the /3s and /4s.
Also new stickers on the vestibule/corridor doors would be nice as last time I traveled on a 350 they still had ex silver link decals on the interior doors.
Also vinyl flooring as they have on the similar Scotrail 380s would be nice, and would likely keep so much cleaner and smarter than dirty carpets over time.
Not sure whether it would be worth adding luggage racks to 350s? Again they have them on 380s. But I suppose the 350/1s do have wide aisles anyway.
Also some sort of automatic food and bottled drinks vending machines on board like Scotrail are planning might be a good idea on long distance routes.
And the arm rests in first need replacing for rubber/vinyl ones rather than hard plastic coated with velour.
