Regarding your comment of 'taking the Merc to the Metrocentre' - does your average passenger know or care whether the bus is a Merc or not? What appeal would that have to them?
It's always baffled me why one of the Blaydon Racers has that branding on the rear as its tagline.
When the Citaros were on the Red Arrows X1, they had a Similar Tagline of "Leave the Car at Home, Take the Merc", I think the Silver Arrows before they got Rebranded also had the same Tagline above the Rear Wheel Arch, and also on the Rear.
5275 notably had this Tagline - http://www.flickr.com/photos/33928144@N07/3761223543/
