I wonder why some trains change at Farringdon then?

Dunno. Maybe they are expected to keep up to speed with changes at both
stations?

The plan in the TL2000 documents was to do all changeovers at City
instead of Farringdon, because the dual-electrified sidings at City can
be used to get trains with pantographs stuck up or down out of the way of
the other trains. Farringdon of course used to have the dual-electrified
Moorgate Branch as a place to hide trains with stuck pantographs, but
lost that when the platforms were extended over the junction (which I
presume has happened by now), so I'd be very surprised if any trains were
still changing power at Farringdon.

The Moorgate City Widened line closed almost five years ago!
