A visit to the Reservoir Bus Company's depot in August 2002 found a fleet of elderly school buses, mostly Mercedes, still in the company's simple red and white livery. Here a 1988 PMCSA bodied OH1316, 49 (3157AO) is seen alongside a similar pair of Newnham machines, a year older, with 45 (3153AO) identifiable on the end. The PMCSA bus was sold on to Murphys Commercials in Newcastle. |

This trio are more difficult to identify. Nearest the camera, 24 identifies itself as a PMC bodied Mercedes whilst the other pair, 29 and 41, appear to be Isuzus. |
  |
Destined to join 49 with Murphys Commercials, 47 (3156AO) is an identical OH1316, they are two of four bought new in 1988. |
  |
What ultimately happened to the first of the quartet, 46 (3155AO), is unknown. |
  |
Newnham bodied OH1316 8 (3152AO) of 1986 vintage was in an advertisement livery alongside sister vehicle, 11 (3151AO) which passed to Westernport Road Lines. |
