Talk:McKindless

Proposed merge

The article JMB Travel is a very short stub without sufficient context to explain what it is talking about. The company JMB Travel apparently took over operations from McKindless. The two companies therefore seem to be closely related, and the two pages could probably be merged. Cnilep (talk) 19:01, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Fully agree with this; JMB don't seem to meet notability guidelines anyway. A merge is the best we can hope for, as I'm sure JMB's article would be deleted eventually. The merge should probably be under the McKindless name as this was used for much longer and on a larger number of vehicles and routes. Alzarian16 (talk) 19:11, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

JMB ARE NOT MERGING WITH MCKINDLESS GROUP. MCKINDLESS BUSES WILL BE DISSOLVED, THE OTHER COMPANIES ARE NOT RELATED. It is of note JMB only hold 6 O discs and only operate school duties along with P&C Buses —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.151.162.131 (talk) 04:19, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

This is correct, which is why the pages should be merged. If JMB only have 6 operating discs and don't run any regualr routes, then not only is their article completely wrong, but they are unlikely to meet WP:N and it will be deleted if the merge doesn't happen.

I agree with a merge. Arriva436^{talk/contribs} 16:47, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

• I have to object to this merge because I have yet to see any evidence that these two companies are in any way related. I live in the Lanarkshire area, where McKindless operated, and I have never heard of JMB Travel. The article provides no references and could be wrong. --tb240904 ^{Talk Contribs}

It has been stated previously in the industry press that JMB Travel and P&C Coaches are privatley owned by relatives of McKindless, not the group its self. They operate school journies and hires. http://jmbtravel.co.uk/— Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.151.162.131 (talk)

edited as it was more than 80 people unemployed, and unsure whether press is stating truthfully as have heard some employees having issues, others not. Also changed the vehicles operated, why does the person typing this trust this local rag, Newmains operated 45 service buses, with more schools, as well as Parkheads PVR being around 30 each day. --86.151.162.131 (talk) 02:17, 10 March 2010 (UTC)jesus

I'm getting quite upset that my edit was called Vandalism, as it clearly isn't - this newspaper did not get the facts right. Both depots ran 30-40 buses in service, and more on schools. so How cany 45 buses cover this. Also over 100 people were left unemployed as you have drivers to drive all the buses, mechanics, office staff etc. I also added past routes, why was this removed. If you want to believe a dirty rag so to speak, so be it. I'm only stating facts which can be found with deeper digging and helping this page of knowledge. --Glabus (talk) 03:51, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
