First off, 417 wouldn't serve Old Town towards Clapham Junction, I artifically made a TfL error which was in the Brixton map for 35/37.
Now, the following replacements reflected in reversed changes:
3/N3 to Russell Square. As per my suspicion it was dropped and cut further back instead, not the worst off in the Central London changes scheme..
3 & 322 to Anerley. Less frequent and more reliable (ahem) 249/432 chosen instead.
197... Now 157 was to be cut at Norwood Junction but unlike the shorter routes in Central it's still fine today. From the initial tramlink changes it was postponed until 312 got more unbearable and the cut was given; from Peckham-South Croydon to become today's 312. Which still has Addiscombe as an issue, but the Peckham section has slightly faster, more reliable 197.
(363) P10: The split of 63 turned single deck. I can only go off of little information as this scratched my head the most. It's terminus either Canada Water or Surrey Quays. Though tied in with a change on P13 (P12) diverting it at Canada Water suggests P10 would've replaced P13 (P12)'s round-the-rounds in Bermondsey. What's more fascinating is the 'Five Estates': Gloucester Grove, North Peckham, Camden, Sumner and Willowbrook. The last served most neatly out of them by 63/363 today. Today there's still no service in the heart of most of the listed service, just a walk from either end of the spectrum. Left for 136/343, bottom to the high street, or 63/363 to the right.
Notes: I did include the 249 extension from Balham to Clapham Common since 255 would've eventually taken the Balham stand. Whereas 322's chronic unreliability and overcrowding would still lead to a reroute away from Elephant & Castle, à la mode 196 today.
