I imagine GNE probably didn't have enough drivers for the short notice contracts that they wouldn't know they'd need staff for when the normal GNE xmas schedules were put together for the festive period. I understand the Arriva work was only awarded at the start of December, which was probably after all the "normal" GNE work for Christmas would have already been allocated!
