Of course, with it being Sunday, none of the shops in the retail park are open until mid-morning, so we next board the 0712 Arriva Merseyside service 82 to Speke (Morrisons on Millwood Road) that arrives there at 0724 on Sunday morning, where although the same shop opening time is also late, we have heard there are onward bus connections from there.
