I'm not sure how many drivers would have been left to operate the 79/79A in any case?
Does TUPE always apply though. The amount of contracts that change hands all the time with the likes of nexus I would be suprised the bus companies knew who worked for then. The last TUPE i heard of was 2010 with the quaylink but think TUPE applied due to the council involvement on contracts
