 31466 was shunting a couple of coaches. 10/01/2016

 Everyone was lined up at Bury to see "Scotsman" sail through the station, non-stop en route for Heywood. Then the announcement came that the train was being routed round the back through platform 4 - thanks ELR! 10/01/2016

 So, going-away shots it had to be with 45407 "Lancashire Fusilier" coupled behind - presumably for insurance. 10/01/2016

 Here's how it looked at Crewe in 2001. 10/01/2016
