See I think they would, if they have no money interests in the company, then they'd have an interest in supporting their colleagues on the rail incase they're in the same boat in the future.

The only people who care, are those who care about money, but then if they start meddling with operations, you're going into micromanagement territory.

Arriva and GNE have consistently not put bigger buses on any strike routes so it's a decision within the company including strike days in Sunderland with singles still running the likes of the 24 on a match day.
