I never said that they were in place before the franchise started... of course they weren't. However, GB still remains an Independent Airline, and therefore applies for routes itself with Government Authorities... The only involvement that BA ever has is approving GB to operate it 'as BA'.

GB uses the same aircraft, whatever the base, but are just rotated back to LGW for main maintenance. The BACon flights have the converter seats in all Economy, rather than a mix of Club and Economy. The seating on most of them is being changed this winter though (thinner seats) to give an extra row.
