On newer ones these could all be done at the side of the bus. I think all the L.T garages also had a fuel bay box - marked off in yellow and protected by traffic lights and an alarm. Only one bus was allowed in the box at a time - if another one started to enter then the alarm would sound to alert the person fueling the bus.
