I can't speak for Plymouth Citybus, but I guess they were wanting a simple but effective corporate livery to reduce costs. I don't think their corporate livery looks cheap at all though, for what it's worth. Without the "swoop" it would, mind.
Well for me I think all main service need to be branded then. Too many unbranded routes for a so basic livery to work, 9/29/X25/13/14/15/95/96 should be branded, then I think a plain red with simple Go North East logos then would work as they'd literally be allocated as spares only and not on many regular workings. Just a personal opinion.
