Not a WTT mick - all of the specials were i.e. outwith the planned current timetables and appeared in STN's - Special Traffic Notices (issued on a weekly basis)....
If it was a planned special working, involving ECS to and from the departure point, the set would have been given the TRN 5Z22 and the train loco (if it was working the class 5 working) - the same. If they were being worked seperately - the ECS would have 5Z22 and the (eventual) train loco making it's way to the departure location 0z22 all culminating in them all receiving the TRN for the working - assumed in this case to be 1z22 (it could equally be class 6 for example).
A few years in the regional control helped no end!

Yup kinda get that LOL, home now and checking my local WTT...not STN's LOL, 0R98 is not the light movement I had in mind, it's 0R02 Mo, rest of the week it's 4R02, so no idea what 0R02 is feeding Mo but it is a light loco movement running in the 4R02 path.
GBRf have another light loco move from Peterborough to Ipswich which is a 4 loco set up and runs under the code 0E33 Mo, at Ipswich it splits into two trains of two locos, one half remains as 0E33 to Felixstowe where the locos split for 4E33 (first departure) and 4M23. The other pair then work onto Harwich from Ipswich under a new light loco code of oP41, where upon they split again and feed 6P41 (first departure......normally) and 4R03.
I set myself a challenge a couple of years back whilst on shift......and had days off during the week...to try and get at least one photo of every daylight arrival and departure on the Felixstowe branch, we only had 28 at that time for a whole 24hr period so not hard you'd imagine, well it's harder than you think as some run one day and the next are called something different, same path, different head code. I'd managed almost all of them and was then looking at all the light loco movements to try and bag them too, hence the research into which locos fed what, where and when. A change of shift pattern put a stop to that little project and a change in working practices too, light locos no longer work down the branch, paths are so tight that now they run the second loco DIT and split at the terminal, I think only GBRf still run the light loco paths very early on Monday and late Saturday when the line is less busy.
If you think that's all mad, take a look at GBRf and EWS use of wagons sets for these diagrams, there's seven GBRf diagrams, each set rotates one diagram a week, so if your looking for photos of a particular wagon....as I was for the WH Davis super low45's on trial....as I was for detailed modelling photos
http://www.flickr.com/photos/32755955@N05/sets/72157629474057125/ then it's quite important to know in advance when they are going to turn up and on what rotation....to match with being at work on a Saturday, or better yet, on a Sunday when the terminal is closed, thus allowing all over access
and if not at work, when to come in and not waste ones time
. GBRf and EWS are not too bad but Freightliner
hopeless!!, best way is to wait for them to be red carded and shunted to the basin for detail photos!
Anyway, where were we?, ohh I remember, 0Z22 LOL, as you surmise, light loco for xZ22 probably
