Dont think it was ever destined to stay.
Sure I've seen a post advertising various B7RLEs & L94s for sale & rent.

The B7RLE listed on here on Page25 is one such vehicle advertised BUT it's been a multi-purpose advert as it promotes their in house repaint section.

I don't think it's been reported before but former Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancs Optare Solo 47004 (KX51CSF) is now in use with Connexions, working Otley locals today. Presumably a large incentive for this purchase was the fact that the bus is in the Lakes version of Beachball livery and so fits into the Connexions colour schemes pretty well. For Bustimes followers it is tracking as Omnidekka M500JJR today.

They have also put one of the ex Trent Barton Sixies Scanias in service on the X1 fully repainted from its acquired yellow livery to red with green rear and white rear three quarters sides below the windows - even more deliberate copying of Transdevs red front than the red ex Go Ahead vehicles. www.flickr.com/photos/stazicker/51009898141

Wait until Kim Jong sees it Monday, bet there is green or a fleetname on the front by Friday 🤣

The back is a mess IMO - the engine flap is reasonable with the route list down one side and the pretty obscure meaning "Your Local Link" branding to the LH side (surely that could only apply to the X12 in Harrogate) while beneath in prominent white lettering is "A Better Bus Company". On the rear window their is a red dot with three lines of text on it which are illegible from any distance which reference it being a green but, a local operator and Connexions Buses.
