Agree at 1946L, but did you see the other satellite which crept overhead from the NNE at c. 1948; much brighter than the ISS, but being much lower, disappeared at around 75 degrees elevation heading SSW.

must have a look from my location and see if I can spot it

If using PlanePlotter switch to F11 the skyview function and move the view to south, zoom out and youll see that after sunset PP is programmed to track the brightest , visible , satellites for you. So you'll not only see overflying a/c , but also satellites local to your location.
Folk often mistake nav lights for satellites.Using this function you can illiminate a/c from spacecraft )

Should be some bright passes this week if the clouds stay away.

I snapped this last week , before the Moon was viz , but you can see Venus , Orion the Pleiades [top right ] and ISS [ range 1500km ] all in one frame.
