You may say that but they've already been used on service 420 which goes via the M53 to Liverpool from West Kirby which did around 55MPH according to my speedometer app on my phone. The tachographed Volvo B5LH's are indeed intended to be used on Private Hires in the near future so I've been told.

As for the Volvo B7TL's, I certainly can't see them being shifted to other depots anytime soon, like others have said their primary purpose is obviously service work but also for the Mersey Ferries contract.
