Most likely to do with loadings.

The bus on the morning 420 can be full after leaving Upton, were as evening buses often left Liverpool empty, & given the stopping arrangements, only passengers to & from Liverpool were carried on the 420.

Passengers from Liverpool, would often catch the first bus, even if was the 437, given the 437 only takes 5 minutes longer than the 420, so 420 loadings were often poor on leaving Liverpool, which is why all the journey's from Liverpool were withdrawn.
