They (and 365s / 465s) have been described as structurally sound for ten more years of service.I don’t see this idea kicking off, especially as it sounds like the 165s have quite little life left in them.
There seems to be a quite weird desire to bring 365s back to service and rid the network of 165s on this forum when structurally they are very similar / have the same seat frames etc. (I appreciate they are spaced differently in the 365s but they are the same seats - I also appreciate that 365s are electric units - both ticks in their direction.)
