I see that Oxford and Gloucester have been moved to the northern league meaning it's a very South East looking league with very few long trips with Torquay,WSM and Truro also going . Not sure if the Wikipedia Admin team know something we don't but they seem to think Dorking is between Tonbridge and Maidstone on the map

That is not set in stone. Have Gloucester done the three years in the south that means that they have no option if a move is needed? Also, what happens if Gateshead are kicked out at the AGM and Aldershot are reprieved?
This from the Havant & Waterlooville website.
The National League South division table will undergo changes before the 2019/2020 season commences as teams are being transferred between the northern and southern divisions.
Oxford City and Gloucester City look to be on the move to the National League North, with relegated Braintree Town moving to the southern division following their relegation from the National League.
This reported change has not been confirmed as it is still subject to National League ratification but looks to be the more sensible option which has been identified by the FA.
Havant & Waterlooville will be facing familiar opposition in the upcoming season as Aldershot Town and Maidstone United who also were relegated from the challenging National League will join them in the southern division.
The newly promoted outfits who will be joining the National League South are Dorking Wanderers, Tonbridge Angels, and Weymouth.
There is still conjecture regarding Gateshead and Ebbsfleet. If 1 or both should request relegation by the AGM then Aldershot/Braintree could remain in the National.
Next season is the last with 22 clubs North and South as 2020/21 proposals will increase the leagues to 24.
I dont think Ebbsfleet are in trouble. A website ran an article about them taking voluntary relegation but its all untrue according to the club. Unless there is something else going on but nothing I have seen in the press.
Gateshead deducted 9 points and refused national league licence for 2019/20. Conjecture on conference forum could drop 2 leagues. This could keep Aldershot in National and possibly Truro in the South. However Gateshead have the right to appeal so interesting AGM coming up.

Would Truro be reprieved ahead of the North Division 3rd from bottom?
I understand the reprieve would be given to the team with the best record. Ashton United gained 35 points from 42 matches, whereas Truro City gained 39 points. So Truro would stay up if Gateshead drop out of the National League.
1. Bath City
2. Billericay Town

9. Dulwich Hamlet
10. Eastbourne Borough
11. Hampton & Richmond Borough

Lets hope they still get decent Kingsferry coaches to away games for all of the games bar Dartford, Dulwich, Maidstone etc. Raggy Arse rovers and players driving isn't good for creating a group and isn't good pre for away games when they arrive in dribs and drabs.

Completey disagree. Why would the club pay say £1k for coach to St Albans or Hemel when half the players will be making their own way to the game? Better spend that money on the budget.

Agree with Chris on this one. Bath, Chippenham, Weymouth, Havant, Hungerford, Oxford would be my guess for team coaches plus of course Liverpool after we hold them to a draw at PVR in the FA Cup. (ever the dreamer)
