Might have been the ISS but I think it would have gone further in 60 seconds - it takes a couple of minutes to cross the sky, usually around 7.30-ish in the evenings going from SW to SE.

It's a plane! As Jedi says the orange is light pollution, sodium streetlamps.

My night ride consisted mostly of rabbits and doggers last night.

Sorta the same thing really.

Pretty slow shooting star? Even a satellite would be progress more than that I would have thought.

quite possibly is, i've captured a few making star trail photos

it doesn't have to be moving for the whole 60s portlyone, any light emitted will be captured however short (and obviously they burn out quickly, hence being a relatively short line)
