London's "1 hour rule" refers to the Hopper Fare, which allows unlimited bus and tram journeys for a single £1.75 fare within one hour of your first tap-in, using the same contactless or Oyster card. It means you can switch between buses and trams as much as you like, even linking with the Tube or DLR (though the main benefit is bus/tram hopping), without paying again, provided your subsequent taps are within 60 minutes of the initial touch.
and the letter indicates the name of the garage where they are based. I live in North East London and the local buses I use have the initial W, which means Walthamstow, though some of them don't actually go to Walthamstow. B buses are based on Bexleyheath. and Ealing has E buses.

What happens if I accidentally drive in a bus lane?
If you mistakenly drive in a bus lane, especially during operational hours, you'll likely receive a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN), often called a fine, sent to the vehicle's registered keeper, typically enforced by CCTV cameras, with amounts varying by location but often reduced if paid quickly. While it's a common error, especially with confusing signs, it's a civil penalty, not usually criminal, and you might have grounds to appeal if it was truly unavoidable, but generally, it's best to pay or challenge the PCN within the given timeframe to avoid increased charges.
The bus runs daily from 04:15 to 21:50 for the airport route and from 06:15 to 19:45 for the Whitefield route, with a trip duration of approximately 96 minutes and 95 minutes respectively.
No, an Oyster card is generally not cheaper than tapping with contactless (bank card or phone), as they both use the same "pay as you go" (PAYG) system and have identical fare caps and discounts, making them the same price for most journeys. Contactless is often more convenient as it avoids the £5 Oyster card cost and the hassle of topping up, but Oyster can prevent foreign transaction fees if using a foreign bank card.
No, you only tap in (touch on) when boarding a London bus or tram; you do not need to tap off (touch out) when you get off, as it has a flat fare, and tapping off could actually cost you more money. For buses, you just tap your Oyster card or contactless card/device once on the yellow reader by the driver when you board.
