A little time spent masking up makes such a difference!

Maybe to us enthusists, but do the public notice things like that? No. None of the other Alexander Dennis MPDs repainted so far have retained their 'Alexander Dennis' badge on the front. Indeed, certain ones haven't even got them in their original livery. Plus, at the end of the day, leaving it on makes repainting more difficult.
