37507 powers through Tipton with 6E28 Wolverhampton - Lackenby at 13:17 on Monday 1st May 1989. The mission on this day had been to photograph 37350 on the "Power to the Tower" tour as it went around Oxley Chord. That shot was bagged at 11:47, but on the way out we'd seen 507 in Wolverhampton Steel Terminal. The obvious move was therefore to take the local train back to Brum and stop off at Tipton for the platform-end shot of 6E28, a reliable Bank Holiday runner. As is often the way with these things the opportunistic shot turned out to be better than the planned one.
