I thought only 1 had? Guess they will all need full interior refits due to that side sofa at the back

Most likely keep it and re trim it into Arriva leather

Depends if the routes they plan to use them on are contracted and have minimum seating requirements. (Unless they do like D&G, who decided all the short Enviro 200s meet the 28 seating requirement, even if they don't have the two tip up seats in the wheelchair area. I feel sorry for any operator who actually budgeted in vehicle modifications to meet the seating requirement when bidding for contracts.)

Any idea what Arriva of Arriva Empire these are going to?

X5 buses were running Warrington-Lymm only this morning due to the flooding caused by the Bridgwater canal collapse. From bus times tracking it looks like they had the usual number of vehicles out and they resumed their return working around 1 hour 50 after terminating the outbound journey short. I suppose in the future with the route being split that wouldn't happen with vehicles coming from depots in different locations.
CAT5s were also only running Warrington-Lymm this morning. They're now running to Altrincham but via the direct route, not via Sale. The 16:03 Warrington to Altrincham is showing as arriving almost 45 minutes ahead of schedule!

Seems the 9s are still being diverted around the Wincham area, while a separate road closure is causing the (D&G) 89s to be diverted between Lostock Gralam and Knutsford.

I don't know which genius decided to put the 7 to Appleton and the 7 to Liverpool in stands next to each other in Warrington Bus Station, but it's certainly causing some problems.
It wouldn't be as big an issue if they still called Warrington's "Cat7".

I don't know why the registration process doesn't automatically reject registrations where there's a number clash, unless the registrations have significant overlap between routes. (Like there is with the D&G 84X and Stagecoach 84 in Crewe). It may have been hard to do in the past, but shouldn't be now with open access data for registered bus routes.
