There's atleast 3 mylleniums in the region already in withdrawn state and the others will soon be following (Understandably not in the best condition and probably Sorn).

With the Gemini 3's shortly arriving into the region on temporary loan to Birkenhead this would free up mylleniums currently sat at LS, which could be converted. It is not unusual for depots either to provide a loan to allow such a conversion to take place. By the time the rail replacement is over, all of the X and Y reg vehicles will be withdrawn due to single decker buses being freed up by SL and GL as the Gemini 3's settle into their destined homes.

It's also worth noting that 2 extra buses will be on loan to Arriva NW very shortly for electric vehicle trialing (again freeing up 2 buses)
