Laravel 5.3 passing data to password reset template failing

I am trying to pass a pageTitle variable to the password reset template (/resources/views/auth/passwords/reset.blade.php) in Laravel 5.3 in the following way:

return view('auth.passwords.reset')
    ->with('pageTitle', 'Change title')
    ->with(['token' => $token, 'email' => $request->email]);

this goes in the showResetForm method inside ResetsPasswords trait - and it doesn't work. Google doesn't come up with any helpful results. I've tried removing the line:

    ->with(['token' => $token, 'email' => $request->email]);

but it still doesn't work.
