Was that a Class 47 with Mk1's on WCML?

Tuesday am around 11:30, heading northbound on the slow lines, pretty sure it was a 47 motoring along pulling half a dozen maroon Mk1 coaches. Did anyone else see this or know what it was? I had to do a double take as I assumed it was a freight train heading towards me.

You haven't mentioned the location where the train was on the slow lines.

It was at Hanslope in Northants if it helps.

Sounds like a West Coast Railway stock move, probably from Southall to Carnforth.

I wonder if this is the same train that came through Lancaster, heading towards Preston, at about 11.30ish this morning?
