It's nice "work" if you can get it. But the job will be a lot less attractive in a few years time when services actually start running, when the generous salary is combined with actual work, and on a shift system at that. Some of them might decide to move elsewhere.

I fully expect that when Crossrail actually starts, they will still need to use the excuse that's so common on Govia-Thameslink: "service cancelled because of shortage of staff".
