The problem with the bus station in Liverpool is that Merseytravel allocate slots there like an airport would so the likelihood of it accepting the volume of buses which come through the tunnel is non-existent. It is full already at some times of day. If a smaller company wanted to run an off-peak service every hour or similar they would no doubt get in but an extra 20+ buses an hour will never happen.

Only need to extend some of the services, e.g. just one or two "core" Wirral routes like the QBP routes, (1/2/471/472).

Considering the very frequent 17/19/20/21 Kirkby services haven't stopped there for about a year now, I'd say there is a lot of spare capacity anyway.
