Have you looked into getting the train? It might not be an awful lot quicker but at least you've got more room to move. Book the tickets well in advance (rail companies release their timetables 12 weeks in advance)
You can get a day or a sleeper service. I've just checked the trainline for a return at the end of Oct / Return a week later and its £118 off peak. 2 changes going to Liverpool Central (or if you go to Liverpool Lime street its just one change at York)Feb 2015 NSD Challenge 8/12JAN NSD 11/16

Train will be cheaper if he

You'd wanna hope it was quicker than 9 hours by bus!You can get a day or a sleeper service.
There is no sleeper service to Manchester, you'd have to get off at Preston sometime before 5am. Sleeper services are not cheap either.0 -
If you have tesco clubcard vouchers you can purchase a railcard via tesco clubcard site. Your son could then potentially but tickets from as little as £18 each way if he books in advance. I have seen tickets being available as little as a couple of days in advance, but like everything else i think it depends on where you are going and how popular your destination etc is. so may be work looking to other train stations enroute then buying another ticket for remaining journey0

Have you looked at a flight to Manchester then to Liverpool from there, it might not be as cheap as the bus but it would certainly be quicker.
ETA
£133 return to Manchester on FlyBE, depart Sun, return Fri0 -
If you are very careful with your times you can get much cheaper than that. Just tried it on East Coast website. Leave Aberdeen 9.52 on 13th November, leave Liverpool 6.57 on 17th of November. Journeys approx 6 hours 30 minutes. £27.10 total with a young persons railcard.0
