I've been reliably informed that this is not the case.

172 & 343 are both lost by Abellio to London Central.  Meanwhile 225 gets existing buses; and the 36 gets 5 existing hybrids alongside the new ones

Ouch! 26% of Walworths Pvr gone with the loss of 172 & 343.

@Stuharris 6360 - why re-post? You already posted it on the day they were announced

@Winston, IF you notice, extra details have been added to the anouncement, if i had randomly just put the changes, it would not have made sense.

Plenty more work for Dartford then with the 99,269 and 401 going there. Wouldn't be surprised if London Central closed its Belvedere garage and moved the 180/244 into Bexleyheath. On the other side of London,I'm guessing London United's management are most relieved not to have lost anything. There are varying start dates for these-not surprisingly-with the changes to the 99/269/401 starting in late January and going through to March for the 423/H22,plus presumably the other Hounslow area routes.

News on routes 68,468,X68 and N68. Abellio have won the 68 & N68-the former will keep its Borismasters while the latter will see Enviros spare from the 45 & 415. Arriva London have won the 468 and from what I've seen will run it from Norwood with new Hybrids. Finally the X68 is held by Go Ahead London. This is a big loss to Camberwell who run the routes currently. All these changes are effective from March 31 next year.

Abellio have been hit by a fair few sizeable tender losses courtesy of Go-Ahead out late at Walworth & Battersea, it was inevitable that Abellio would return the favour at some point on Central London routes

I agree Winston. The fact the routes pass the doors probably helped them.

I've track a bit, but I'm assuming even with 23 Pvr win for the 68/N68, Abellio will still be down a bit on Central London routes

X140 route interesting would it actually save any time the traffic on this corridor
