Didcot North Junction is a location where the majority of freight trains are travelling faster than the passenger services. Most passengers trains (apart from some Voyagers) call at Didcot Parkway, whilst a lot of freights take the avoiding line. Such is the case here, as 66567 speeds southwards on 20 October 2011 with the 4O14 07:00 Birch Coppice to Southampton freightliner.
