Doesn't really answer the question, but Wikipedia has a pretty comprehensive list of current and former BA routes:

In terms of route numbers, here are the ranges used for partners and franchises back in 1997/98. (AFAIK BA have not fully recycled these where partnership/franchise is no more, so may explain current numbering).
Anyway, if nothing else, a trip down memory lane:
