It was the largest of the four new companies created by the SBG in 1985, with an initial fleet of 381 vehicles, of which almost 300 were sourced from the former Alexander (Midland) fleet.<sup id="cite_ref-Jenkinson_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Jenkinson-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In early 1986, maintenance problems saw a number of vehicles banned from use by vehicle examiners from the <a href="/wiki/Department_for_Transport" title="Department for Transport">Ministry of Transport</a>.

During the regulated era, bus operators were protected from competition but could not change their routes without the approval of the licensing authority, and rival operators could object to applications. Historically, Glasgow Corporation had sought to prevent Scottish Bus Group services from penetrating into the middle of the city centre, partly to avoid congestion in the busiest streets but also as a means of bolstering their own <a href="/wiki/Glasgow_Corporation_Tramways" title="Glasgow Corporation Tramways">tramway</a> revenue. When Kelvin Scottish was formed, the former Alexander (Midland) and Scottish Omnibuses routes from north and east of the city terminated at <a href="/wiki/Buchanan_bus_station" title="Buchanan bus station">Buchanan bus station</a> on the northern edge of the city centre, whilst the former Central SMT routes from the west used <a href="/wiki/Anderston_Centre" title="Anderston Centre">Anderston bus station</a> on the western extremity of the city centre. Passengers wishing to travel further into the city centre had to either walk or change to a <a href="/wiki/Strathclyde_Buses" title="Strathclyde Buses">Strathclyde Buses</a> service. Deregulation allowed services to be extended further into the city centre, which would make services more convenient for passengers. On the other hand, a significant proportion of Kelvin's route network served the city's suburbs and peripheral estates and had been protected from competition from Strathclyde Buses due to the arbitrary company boundaries which regulation had created. As the city had expanded outward, Glasgow Corporation had not been allowed to extend its own services to serve these new estates as they were deemed to be SBG 'territory'. These busy and profitable urban routes were an important part of Kelvin's business, but with deregulation Strathclyde Buses would be able to extend their existing city services out to serve these areas, which would cause a serious loss of revenue for Kelvin. The inherited route network was therefore extensively reorganised in an effort to retain as many of the suburban passengers as possible whilst gaining new passengers within the city. </p><p>Although deregulation itself took place in October 1986, Kelvin received permission to introduce its new routes from 31 August. Many of the routes serving the suburbs and peripheral estates were linked together to create new cross-city routes instead of terminating in the city centre, with some of these being operated by former London Transport AEC Routemasters. The elderly Routemasters were faster than other buses because instead of passengers paying the driver on entry the fares were collected by a <a href="/wiki/Bus_conductor" title="Bus conductor">conductor</a> whilst on the move, and the much shorter dwell time at bus stops gave Kelvin a competitive advantage over Strathclyde Buses' slower <a href="/wiki/One-person_operation" title="One-person operation">one-person-operated</a> services. Some cross-city routes were operated jointly with <a href="/wiki/Clydeside_Scottish" title="Clydeside Scottish">Clydeside Scottish</a>, and a number of new services were started on city routes which had not hitherto been served by the Scottish Bus Group. Another competitive tactic was the introduction of minibus services in the north of Glasgow, providing services into city centre at a much higher frequency than would have been viable using full-sized buses. In response Strathclyde Buses extended many of its city services not just into the peripheral parts of the city traditionally served by Kelvin, but also beyond the city boundary and deep into SBG territory, including the towns of Clydebank, Milngavie, Kirkintilloch and Cumbernauld.<sup id="cite_ref-Buses_484_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Buses_484-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Immediately after deregulation the 'bus war' between SBG and Strathclyde Buses, together with some independent operators such as <a href="/wiki/Magic_Bus_(Stagecoach)" title="Magic Bus (Stagecoach)">Magic Bus</a>, saw a major increase in the number of buses serving the city centre. However the situation was not sustainable as there were not enough passengers to make so many competing services viable, and ultimately Strathclyde Buses prevailed. In 1987 Kelvin made a reported loss of £3 million, leading to the closure of the depot at <a href="/wiki/Milngavie" title="Milngavie">Milngavie</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Many of the competing routes introduced in 1986 were withdrawn in July 1987, and 70 vehicles were taken out of service, including some Routemasters and the majority of the new minibuses.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> By early 1988 the fleet had been reduced by more than a third, and Kilsyth depot also closed in 1988 as an economy measure. </p><p>In July 1989, it was announced that SBG was to be privatised. In an effort to make Kelvin Scottish more attractive to prospective buyers, Kelvin was merged with the more profitable Central Scottish to form Kelvin Central Buses Ltd. Upon the merger, Kelvin Scottish ceased trading as a stand-alone subsidiary.<sup id="cite_ref-Buses_Focus_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Buses_Focus-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, the merger involved harmonising conditions of service for employees, and whereas Kelvin had already had to impose new terms and conditions on its staff as a result of its financial problems, the changes were extremely unpopular with Central employees.
