I'm assuming it's because the erstwhile guards are now OBSs, and even if
they keep striking, it will no longer mean their DOO capable trains have to
be cancelled? In fact, from GTR's point of view, this could be the best
option: costs go down, as the frequently striking OBSs won't have to be
paid, but the pax and DfT bosses will be happy that the trains keep
running.
