A lot of seats appeared to have been dismantled, so I presume that it could have been an issue with its fuel pump...? (I'm not a mechanical genius - that suggestion is a result of past experience!)

Could 2228 have been through a flood and stalled as parts of maghull are flooded including northway switch island and sefton lane due to the river alt having burst its banks sefton lane being the worst hit with several houses flooded out.

I don't think so. There was no flood-water on the road where it was parked, although there were a few deep puddles along the route that could have effected it...? As I said before, I'm not a mechanical expert, so I don't know if water would effect a bus' performance!
