I assume that when the contracts were awarded it was stipulated that they would run whenever the trains did. If they didn't run I suspect that very few passengers in these areas would use the trains if it meant a two mile walk home from Maghull station or LSP. It's not ideal but I suppose it's better than nothing - if you live in along these bus routes, of course.

There are other rail stations on Merseyside which normally see tendered services Evenings & Sundays but aren't served. St Helens Junction for example, is completely without buses on New Years Day. Not good when it is the town's main link for trains to/from Manchester.
