What’s the reason for its withdrawal please, as it’s not due to go for another 18 months at least

It was mentioned about 3 weeks ago that it had been withdrawn because of engine failure. If not here, it was reported in the Arriva North West and Wales Photography Facebook group.

Any further diesel 'deckers will be StreetDecks, subject to build slot availability. Wrightbus is rather busy at the moment.

Won't there be buses being cascaded from Bolton and Wythenshawe next year?

The Bolton ones from 2995 upwards are all going to Wythenshawe in a couple of weeks, the older stuff (58/09) is going for store, at Runcorn so I believe.....

RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
Bolton is closing this month, Wythenshawe in January 2025. The planned transfers will reduce the number of new vehicles needed to replace the 2007-2009 Pulsars over the next couple of years, but not by much. New buses are on the cards, but the current uncertainty means these will be the bare minimum required. The "trickle down effect", like Green Lane's StreetDeck order, could well be employed again.
