If you want to fly the old T16, T213 you still can as random routes but will need FANS to enter HLA airspace (FL290-FL410), T9 and T290 will be exempt from Datalink Mandate.
Not Correct .... all routes will remain available after 30th January 2020, though it’s correct to say that to use T15/16/213 within HLA you will need to comply with the NAT DLM (ie have FANS). Whether those routes remain, within Shanwick airspace, will depend on their long-term utilisation but, with FANS, you can pretty much go wherever you like and you don’t need to be constrained by the ATS Route network within Oceanic airspace.
