Most of us won't be able to remember the last one, and I don't think it is a great line of discussion to be talking about how another operator could help with strike breaking.. they're a unionised workforce too!
True, just talking in general though and I'm sure that despite GNE / Arriva being separate companies, the Unions wouldn't want to break a strike and would most likely just accept the prospect of needing to regulate services or leave passengers behind.
Even if GNE put extra measures in place, they'd still struggle to some extent.
