Honestly a thought would have been that they would cut the 7 back to Marble Arch, unlike all the other routes in Oxford Street they all serve a unique link 113/139 to Baker Street 98 to Edgware Road 390 to Hyde Park 94 to Bayswater Road the already frequent 98 can be quite adequate throughout the day observationally and most patronage on the 7 comes towards Oxford Circus whereas buses are empty towards East Acton, just a thought though. I would of thought either the 7 or 159, as you have the 94/139 going to Piccadilly already There was plans to cut the 159 back to Oxford Circus but not sure if that's still long term pending or cancelled. There was rumours of a consultation to extend the N109 to Marble Arch which suggested the (N)159 was going to be cut to Oxford Circus.

Although should the 98 be removed the 8 would need to be extended to Oxford Circus to maintain the Holborn link.

Would be great to have a route extended back from the east towards Oxford Street! The 8 Tottenham Court Road terminal always feels a bit awkward and out of the way and still seems to catch passengers out when the bus terminates there.

148 frequency reduction confirmed as x7.5 to x10mins Mom-Sat daytimes which achieves the PVR reduction.

I not see any note saying about N199 dropped to every 30 minutes during Friday/Saturday night instead of every 20 minutes.
Both LBR and Buses News from Ian as no shown as new timetable for N199.
However TfL did say both on website and bus stop about change to N199 however no timetable shows at all.
Very odd !

Over the next few months, not announced yet but betting on it is that the 27/N27 are cut back to Camden Town. The stand will soon have to be relocated as the current one is gonna be closed soon while works take place and probably permanent too.
The stand at Camden Gardens was never taken and due to the new cycle lanes on Chalk Farm Road this can improve reliablity.
Also, towards Hammersmith the Chalk Farm Road / Morrisons stop has been relocated and now can only be served by 31, 168, 393 so it already starts from basically Camden Town anyways and no one gets on from the stand as its in the middle of knowhere.
Not sure about the 393 though, perhaps Bridge Approach?

The 393 could have it's last stop and stand at Chalk Farm Station before standing on Regents Park Road and departing towards Clapton Pond via Bridge Approach with its first stop being the current one outside Chalk Farm Station.

Plus the 94/139 can get really busy

It wouldnt work as you cant turn onto Haverstock Hill from Adelaide Road you have to use Ferdinand Street on the 24, so then that means it will skip Haverstock Hill and Harmood Street. A way I could see is that the 393 stands on Regents Park Road but is rerouted bothways via Ferdinand Street and can still serve Morrisons. The road layout has changed at Morrisons which means all vehicles can turn onto Chalk Farm Road now towards North West from Ferdinand Street. It means no buses will serve Harmood Street though, but the 168, and 24/393/46 arent far away

Won't happen, route 148 already goes through many traffic hotshots, are you thinking about that? A 94/148 merger would be a disaster. You don't just merge two routes for the sake of doing so. Honestly...... how would it be a disaster? The 148 could remain as it is now and something else cover Acton Green or it could be cut back to Elephant & Castle or even Waterloo. Acton Green to Camberwell would only be about 80 minutes, most routes encounter traffic! Oh god how many times ..
