Central was sold to its employees. In 1994 it was taken over by Strathclyde Buses, which was itself bought out by FirstGroup two years later. Kelvin Central was renamed to First Glasgow (No.2) Ltd. in May 1998, with a red livery adopted. Its operations are now part of First Glasgow. In 1995-96 the depots at Stepps, Kirkintilloch and Old Kilpatrick all closed as the operation of routes into the city were consolidated at the former Strathclyde Buses facilities and most of the outlying services were surrendered to independent operators. Cumbernauld depot was also closed by FirstGroup in 2013, but it was subsequently purchased by Stagecoach and reopened in 2016 to replace Stagecoach Glasgow's Blochairn depot. Branding and promotions The company initially adopted a simple two-tone blue livery with a logo incorporating the Flag of Scotland and the words "Scottish" and "Kelvin"; a more striking livery consisting of two lighter shades of blue and yellow applied diagonally was introduced in September 1985. This was revised in early 1988 to yellow and light blue with a dark blue diagonal stripe. Following the merger in 1989 Kelvin Central Buses adopted the former Central Scottish 'Lanarkshire Bus' red and cream livery. As a result of increased competition in Dunbartonshire following deregulation, Kelvin decided to introduce additional fleetnames to its vehicles to establish local identities. From April 1987 onwards Dumbarton BUS appeared on vehicles operating in Dumbarton and Loch Lomondside. In October Kirkie BUS was introduced onto Kirkintilloch-based vehicles and Cumbernauld's Buses onto vehicles stationed in that town. In 1988 a new fares scheme, the Glasgow Gold Card, was introduced, offering weekly travel on all SBG routes in the city. A Kelvin AEC Routemaster bus was painted in a gold livery to advertise the ticket, and remained in the livery until withdrawal by Kelvin Central in 1991. Fleet The fleet acquired by Kelvin at its formation was very mixed, reflecting the different vehicle policies of its predecessor companies. Of the 381 vehicles in the initial fleet, 135 were double-deck, mostly Daimler and Leyland Fleetlines and MCW Metrobuses, together with twelve Dennis Dominators and eight Leyland Olympians. Of the single-deckers, the most numerous were 153 Leyland Leopards, while other types were the Leyland National, Leyland Tiger and Seddon Pennine 7. This mix of vehicles included various types which Kelvin's management did not consider suitable for the firm's predominantly urban operations, and vehicle swaps were arranged with
