Depends what other work they have e.g. non-TfGM contracts, coach hire etc. and what the management of each company decides. TfGM certainly won't be winding up limited companies or deregistering them as bus operators. Using TUPE to transfer drivers means drivers retain continued service on their existing contract terms and the operator losing the work doesn't have to run a redundancy process, making it a win-win.
