Very interesting to see the 892 (now 20X) operates daily and is operated commercially on a weekend.... I didn't think Stagecoach would make a commercial decision to send a bus out so early on a Sunday unless it has half hour to get between Kirkby Admin and Northwood to start the first 21. I don't know but seems very unusual. I would guess it is a typo. If not... I am shocked.
217/227/217A (Kirkby/Huyton - Halewood) from 22nd July 2018
https://www.merseytravel.gov.uk/getting-...02018).pdf
Stagecoach Routes 217/227: Some journeys, mainly early evening journeys, are retimed.
Monday to Saturday some new early morning 217 journeys introduced between Huyton and Kirkby and an additional Monday to Friday 217 journey from Bootle through to Huyton departing at 0613 (replacing the 892).
Merseytravel Route 217: Evening and Sunday 217 journeys via Longview Drive are renumbered 217A
Various changes there, this brings an end to the Saturday morning Arriva 217s to Kirkby too, Arriva will only operate a few Halewood to Huyton trips now Mon-Sat.

It does seem odd that the 20X is operated commercially at weekends. One possible explanation could be that Stagecoach hope that weekend revellers may use it as a much cheaper alternative than a taxi home as dawn breaks. My understanding is that, following the withdrawal of night buses several years ago, many weekend revellers now wait around in MacDonald's and the like for the first buses/trains out to the suburbs as taxis are as rare as hen's teeth after about 4am.
