Not my best shot this, but I've included it for the novelty value. It shows 37264 working the Tuesday-only 9V01 Bescot - Gloucester, sometime in the summer of 1989. The novel thing about this train is that it's the only time I've ever seen a shunt loco in transit where the train involved has conveyed no brakevan - which probably means it was running as 8V01 on this occasion. The shunter is 08649, en-route from Crewe Works to South Wales after overhaul. The location is just south of Dudley Port (Low Level). I'd been looking for a spot where I could do a wide shot of the train and this would have been fine if I could have got higher. I was still pondering my options when the train came and made the decision for me.
