I know very little about this, but my two pence would be that it could be possible to have buses run along the current 10B route from Liverpool to Huyton Bus Station every 10 minutes, with every other bus continuing to St Helens (every 20 minutes).
The 10 could either operate from the Manor Farm / Elizabeth Road area directly to Whiston (omitting Prescot and some bus stops which the 89 also serves), just the shorts could go to Elizabeth Road, or as another poster has mentioned, other routes could cover the Manor Farm area (route 7 also already covers some of the area).
By my calculations, this could reduce the combined PVR for the routes by about 5.
