I see from your reply that the correct term is "outstationed"

I don't see how the word could be used with buses. Although tube lines
usually have a depot or two and several sidings elsewhere, I don't think
there is a bus equivalent to sidings. If a route uses buses from two
garages, which buses are "outstationed"?

Would this also be used for trams/streetcars?
Also, I wondered who buys whole fleets of
London buses when they are replaced?

Leicester... eeh, the place brings back memories, I even found some of my
teenage chewing gum stuck beneath the seats.
