The re-routing to Birkenhead Bus Station was to provide a service over the Four Bridges to provide a service to the likes of the Contact Centre on Tower Wharf. This is the company pulling out of an area that passengers infrequently use. Likewise, if the 408 was to be withdrawn, it'd be no great loss for this area in the daytime as the 409 would still traverse Tower Road and the implications would obviously be further along the route such as Poulton Road/Breck Road. It'll be interesting to see what will come of future route developments.

As I understand it a deal was done with Arriva/Merseytravel/TCC for the 423 to cover the Four Bridges section evening/Sunday. Maybe this is ending?

The 408 is clearly doomed. Poulton Rd is served by the 433 and sadly in the current climate this will no doubt be deemed adequate enough coverage.

I very much doubt the 411 will divert away from Brighton St/King St as someone else stated. An idea could be to have a circular section via Church Rd, Liscard, Seaview Rd, Mount Rd, NB, Seabank Rd, King St and v.v? 411/411A?
