It’s effectively paying Peter to rob Paul. They withdraw a commercial service due to the potential lack of drivers, TFGM then step in and pay them to continue to run the service under contract to them, so they have to operate every journey, so drivers simply get taken off other services to drive this one. There’s only so many drivers!
