It's almost impossible for them to have an accurate idea of what resource is available to them, other than the bare minimum; that being managers they hold over a barrel to strike break, or the usual scabs who are happy to do the dirty on their colleagues, whilst reaping the reward that any outcome brings.
Bare in mind that there's no obligation for an employee to tell the company whether they intend to strike or not. They can ask, but you're not obliged to answer at all. I'd always recommend my members to say nothing.

I think it's optimistic to think there will be any service at all. Can see a total shut down personally. It's easy to scab drivers when it's only one depot like Stagecoach but across the whole company I can't see them bothering to get managers to run 2 routes or so as it's all your going to get realistically. Not to mention the complete headaches of it all.
