This diagram was an 8 car 360, one of the last I presume. https://realtimetrains.co.uk/train/F36648/2020-12-29
I'd like to see a class 185 style refresh, they deserve that, and the 110mph running Bedford - Corby, although with the distances between those stations I doubt they will reach that speed for very long.
I can very much see the 360s being fitted with the 755-style seats as used by Greater Anglia, because the official artist impressions and videos on EMR’s social media show these seats fitted to both the 810s and the 170s, and the 360s will need their seats replacing anyway as they are currently in 3x2 layout

It wouldn’t surprise me if EMR does the same with the 360s as they did with there new 170 fleet, repaint them but leave the internal refurbishment for a while in order to simply get them in service as quick as possible.

It'd surprise me if they were even painted before refurb. Could see a bit of vinyl like the 180s.

well they are a slightly darker shade of purple than the current EMR colours. So why spend money repainting?

It was always the plan that they'd enter service with the current interior before being refurbished, though the C-word might have made a difference to that plan. IIRC there was some reason the units still have the base of FirstGroup purple: might have something to do with a warranty when they were initially ordered, or possibly some trial of an anti-vandalism treatment.

the anti-vandalism treatment works very well, it makes the trains so difficult to repaint that no operators have been bothered to try and repaint it.

I think it's a combination of both the quality of Siemens Anti Vandal Paintwork (bar the roofs of the 450s, it's never really let anyone down) and the kick the can down the road nature of the Great Anglian franchises over the past few years - It's only really with Abellio that it's had some stability after FGE, "ONE", AGA v1 & 2 and now GA proper.

Depends who does the refit and ongoing maintenance. If its Siemens l wouldn't be surprised if they come out generally looking like refurbished 350s albeit with different moquette etc.

The spec is down to the customer i.e. EMR/DfT, not the contractor.

Let's be clear: they have not been "sent back". EMR do not have a maintenance depot for EMUs, so maintenance and any repairs are being done by Ilford or Northampton. That's rather different.
