On the morning of Saturday the 13th of November 2021, I arrive into Didcot Parkway on-board GWR class 387162 & 387149, as the train slows to a stop we see class 66105 & 66053 stabled next to each other.

I was planning on recording 387162 & 387149 working Didcot Parkway to Didcot Parkway Via Didcot West End but unfortunately that was cancelled at Didcot Parkway then we see GWR class 165125 terminating with a shuttle service from Oxford Station, I also had planned on recording a DB Cargo UK class 66 working Soton W Docks Berth 109 to Didcot T.C but was unfortunately held at Didcot East Jn due to passenger trains taking priority and arrived into Didcot T.C. 16 minutes late.

As I was awaiting the arrival of my train from London Paddington, I had some spare time to trainspot with two fellow Didcot RC volunteers.

The first train of the evening we see is GWR class 800 020 working London Paddington to Oxford Station. Also seen sat in Didcot Lhs are 66105, 66094 & 66077 all in red sitting next to Didcot platform 5 and 66188 sitting next to 66105 with 66053 sat next to 66077

We then see GWR class 800 014 & 800 003 arriving into Didcot Parkway early with a London Paddington to Weston-super-mare service.

Followed by GWR class 165121 working Didcot Parkway to Banbury Station.

Then we see 800 014 & 800 003 depart Didcot Parkway heading for Swindon Station.

Next we see GWR class 800 025 working Oxford Station to London Paddington

Followed by a heavily delayed GWR class 800 031 working Hereford Station to London Paddington

Then we see 800 312 working Swansea Station to London Paddington Express

Unfortunately prior to this my camera messed up and unfortunately didn't manage to record 387 206 & 387147 Arriving into Didcot Parkway.

After 800 312 passes through Didcot Parkway, GWR class 800 029 arrives into Didcot Parkway working London Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads.

We then see Gatwick Express class 387 206 doors close and GWR class 165125 depart for Oxford Station.

And finally my journey begins back home, as I'm leaving Didcot Parkway on 387 206 we see DBC class 66053, 66077, 66094, 66105 & 66188 stabled in Didcot Lhs until their next freight duties.
