46115 Takes eleven up Miles Platting Bank on the Stratford Flyer 11/3/23.

LMS 46115 Scots Guardsman was at the helm of the Railway Touring Company tour The Statford Flyer from Manchester Victoria to Stratford via Crewe . We see 46115 with the empty ECS at 5-30am at Lancaster station and then bang on 7-30 46115 tackled the 1 in 48 climb up Miles Platting bank with eleven on the hook and a ticking over 47. Well worth the early start .Good to meet young Tom of 5083 Railway Videos at Miles Platting 👍Nice to see a matching Maroon rake .

Great video Steve. Brilliant shot a Miles . Such a very popular location. Kind regards C&A

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks C&A, sadly the electrification is killing the shot a bit.

[@tattoo1084]

Cracking shot at MP Stephen, never fails to impress.👍👍

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks David, the electrification is a pain now as it blocks the shot a bit sadly.

Working hard at the end - thanks for sharing.
Always nice to see a Scottie in action, even if it's 'the other one' !!

Many on her, I should have been on but m62 put me off seeing the snow

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Chris, not sure how many people were on as I normally look but oddly enough I didn’t this time . Did expect snow on the roads but thankfully it had all gone.

[@kipsome45]

Great video, especially Miles Platting. I’d suggest the 47 was on notch 1 or 2, probably just hauling its own weight.

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Vigsy, the sound from the Scot was amazing I must say.

[@alanwrathall9312]

Yes i think she was assisting.

[@AndreiTupolev]

The Class 802 IET came by just at the right moment to make an interesting comparison

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Andrei, yes it was a great comparison and thankfully no units came down my side to block the shot.

[@JakeBSteam]

Wow great video footage as always Stephen, I was down at Earlswood on The North Warwick Line for its outward run, and Wood End for the return run. Kind Regards, Jake.

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Jake, glad you enjoyed the video.
