Yes that was my initial thought back in May when the big changes were made. I've said before and I will say again that there should be a link to Belle Vale/Netherley via Gateacre and Lee Park itself.
Ideally a route similar to the old Merseybus 47 would be what I would go for but as Arriva don't seem to like deviating too much from their core corridors I can't see it happening. Maybe a 75A that runs as the current 75 to Woolton Road, then left onto Gateacre Park Drive, right onto Grange Lane then as a 174 to Belle Vale or even continuing to Netherley.
