Anywho... just something quick I knocked up using the existing Crusader colours and graphics

I actually quite like the simplicity of this design

That does look rather smart, and as you say I think its the simplicity of it that makes it look neat and professional. (Thats probably why I like the Corporate livery so much, its clear of any tat). 
The torch may need shrunk a little to fit within the T shaped advert frames so that when adverts are applied, the torch graphic isn't sticking out around the edges. And other than a GNE logo, hopefully above the drivers cab & doors, and route info within the black under the lower saloon windows, hopefully no other graphics/markings/wording is applied elsewhere.

When we see photos of new or repainted vehicles in their base livery they often look very smart & striking, only to somethings end up plastered in decals from head to toe, leaving them looking rather busy with just so much to look at - I've seen a couple of people say the Xlines livery is guilty of this too.
Hopefully as you've done, they'll keep the new Crusader livery simple & clear of clutter so that it looks modern & professional.
