These works are going on for most of this year too.

Could it not be worth just moving them into Victoria Street VE? If they are getting into Liverpool that late, they won't need layover but it will save a LOT of time.
Alternatively, if you want to save time but still serve Sir Thomas Street, make the buses turn left out the tunnel and go up Dale Street (drop off in stop DB) then run down Sir Thomas Street to start. It saves them crossing over the Crosshall Street/Victoria Street junction twice.
