McKindless was founded in Newmains by Vincent and Margaret McKindless. It started as a small operation of a few buses, a lorry and 2 coaches in 1987. Its aim was to provide school contracts and private hires, but it quickly moved into local bus operation. The first routes operated were:
• 68 West Crindledyke - Hamilton
• 61 Bonkle - Newarthill
• 66 Bonkle - Hamilton
• 56 Shotts - Hamilton
These service were operated with ex-Highland Scottish front-engined Ford R1114s and Leyland Nationals. In 1994 the routes and buses were bought by Kelvin Central Buses.
From 1996 Mckindless started a commuter shuttle between Wishaw and Glasgow. and restarted the original routes, and started services to Cleland and Lanark from 1997.
In 2000, the company expanded again by opening a depot in Parkhead, and started operating route with Glasgow city centre - Bishopbriggs - Kirkintilloch. By 2005 they had opened a new purpose-built depot in Parkhead and started route 62. The 62 route became their best route being very busy and operated by low floor vehicles.
The company ceased operation of its services at 1900 hours on Friday 19 February, 2010.
You can park adjacent to the Herdshill guest house or at Morningside roundabout.
Well done team Mr Bluesky/clachanman on FTF
