From the bmi web site:-

online winter timetable

Due to unforeseeable schedule changes the delivery of the new online timetable has been delayed.

To ensure infomation published is as accurate as possible we expect the new timetable to be available online by Friday November 2nd at the latest.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Also from the web site. The axing of BCN and FCO.

From the beginning of December bmi will be suspending services from London Heathrow to Rome and Barcelona, operating in conjunction with SAS and Lufthansa.

Both of these routes were launched only recently. Consequently, the services had not been operating pre September 11th for a sufficient period of time to reach full maturity and become viable operations. Advance booking indications lead the airline to believe that, given the uncertainty surrounding air travel at the moment, these services are now unlikely to sustain an acceptable level of performance. bmi has therefore decided that it would be inappropriate to continue their operation taking into account current market conditions.
