The issue for WOB is they will now have some drivers on a different contract and on a lower salary which will in time potentially cause issues.

According to the Warrington Guardian, Fairbrother will continue as a coach operator.
From WOB's point of view, having low cost drivers on board may well be considered Nice to Have. Or they could be generous and offer their (better) terms. There have been many instances over the years of companies having drivers doing the same work for different rates and, though some drivers might be resentful of this, ultimately many may be appreciative of simply not being left out of work. What eventually transpires will be down to what was (or wasn't) negotiated between WOB and Fairbrother.
