Local news reporting that a train has caught fire at High Wycombe train station. Currently the northbound line is blocked. Various sources suggests that 68015 is the train in question.
Yes - it was working the 10.45 Marylebone - Birmingham, if my source is correct.
"The fire broke out in the locomotive carriage of the 10.45 Chiltern Railways London to Birmingham service"
Locomotive carriage - make up your bloody mind which it is! Quality journalism once again!
So do the 68's think they are 70's as well now......
68015. Certainly doesn't look serious from the outside, but two firemen on the roof with a hose pointed at something inside...

Looks like a thermal gun rather than a hose.
Caption competition for the 2 trumptons on the roof-
Trumpton 1-If we fill this with water it should f--k the thing up completely!
Trumpton 2- yeah good idea, lets do it!
