I suspect that peak-hour traffic congestion would be problematic and the time saving would be less than ten minutes.

Before the electrification of the Kirkby line in 1978, the 500 and 544 limited stop services ran on a 15-minute frequency. However, times have changed and there is no longer the demand to warrant a limited stop bus service between Kirkby and Liverpool city centre.

I still think extending the X3 to Skelmersdale via the M58 and then on to Wigan is worth considering.
