Grampian/First Aberdeen's King Street depot served as a temporary depot for Bluebird Northern, following the sale of the latter's Gairn Terrace site (now flats) and prior to moving to its current location at Tullos. Bluebird Buses occupied the space at the rear of the depot.

There were two temporary depots, with maintenance facilities, to accommodate the Stagecoach fleet at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham near Oldbury, and at the top of the Tyburn Road.

When Crosville Cymru closed their Wrexham depot in 1990/1 after a long running industrial dispute some of the fleet was moved to a temporary depot, depot in the loosist of terms, at Rhosymedre a village around 5 miles south of Wrexham.

Wrexham depot finally found a new home at Caego, slightly out of the town, in around 1994 ?

Central Connect have a temporary depot site of sorts at New Lubbesthorpe in Leicestershire, it's based in a compound that was previously used for the developers when building the housing estate and allows for smoother running of the Novus Direct instead of buses coming from Loughborough.

Afaik it is planned to be permanent.
