Trains at Finsbury Park, ECML (09/02/25)

Train details are as followed:

Unit and/or locomotive number(s):
Trains that operate on the UK rail network are designated under the Total Operations Processing System, TOPS for short. The class of train can be determined by either the first two (locomotives, such as 66090, which would be a Class 66) or three numbers (multiple units, such as 221122, which would be a Class 221). More info can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOPS#TO...

Headcodes:
Train reporting numbers, headcodes for short, are used by railway signallers to determine where trains are on the network. Every train within a region has a specific four code ID, 1O10 for example. For trains travelling a long distance, the country is divided into areas based upon the old British Rail regions, with each one being assigned a letter (for example, the letter E has been assigned to the Eastern region, or the letter L being assigned to the Anglia region).

Set numbers:
Some of you might be wondering what I mean by set number (as featured in this video). LNER's Intercity 225s, and Transport for Wales's Premier Service sets, run in semi-permanent loco hauled coach formations which are kept together for formalities. The first two letters usually indicate the depot responsible for maintaining the train sets. An example as seen in the video is set NL17, which indicates that this set is maintained at Neville Hill Depot in Leeds. The number 17 indicates the rake number. This link should help you identify set numbers for the Intercity 225s operated by LNER, as well as the Premier Service sets run by TfW: https://225group.org.uk/docs/Intercit...
These trains run in push-pull configurations, more info about the configurations can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push%E2...
