Great Western : https://www.gwr.com/ & https://www.gwr.com/about-us/our-business/our-vision
The Driver is a Great Western employee but was working for West Coast on his rest day (Moonlighting on his day off) . The train was a West Coast train and the driver was on that day in the employment of West Coast . Had he had been hired in from Great Western then this situation would of been slightly different but as far as GW where concerned their employee was on a Rest day .
Some TOC's and FOC's allow employee's to work for second companies on their days off as long as they (the employee) manages their work times correctly so as not to break any minimum rest periods between turns etc.
