Gillmoss is a very large depot with a large amount of storage (because Stagecoach have much lower PVR than when they acquired it, and also buses are parked in rows rather than on 45 degree angles like it was originally designed), if needs be both the 471/472 and 10A could stay there happily.

The dead mileage of the 197 moving to Stockport depot is barely 200 yards. The dead mileage from Gillmoss to Liverpool is 6 miles, and the dead mileage to Heswall around 16.
Moving routes such as the 10A to Wigan would mean the service would need to transfer licences not to mention the amount of dead mileage when there is a breakdown or bus needs replacing

I suggested routes 471/72 as they do not go all that near Rock Ferry. With GM being as large as you say, they could even accommodate other Liverpool - Wirral routes, potentially routes 1, 2 & X8 without cascading any work east.
