 Despite Didcot's recent transformation and the virtually complete change in trains that pass through, it remains a mecca for spotters. I counted at least half a dozen on the station, most were of the older generation it has to be said! In this image, two of them observe 802101 passing on the avoider line with the 12.00 Oxford to Paddington whilst 66150 heads north on the down line leading the 4M71 09.47 Southampton Western Docks to Birch Coppice Freightliner. This picture also illustrates the ruinous effect of the installation of the wiring and all its paraphernalia for the railway photographer.
