09:10 London Euston - Holyhead: "This train has been delayed by a fire on a train"

That looks quite serious, does anyone know, or do any drivers / conductors know how the driver would have spotted this? Are there alarms that would warn the driver for this sort of incident?

Without wanting to go into too much detail, yes there are fire alarms fitted and yes they went off. It's a very loud ringing bell that you can't miss.

175004 or 175005 ? No doubt the one that is calling itself 004. Why I'm asking is that the vehicles of the two are wrongly formed following storm damage last year. Following repair they just haven't bothered to reform them again after the 2 undamaged vehicles
were put together to form a good one.

Didn't know that, thanks.

Does the location of the scorch marks in the photo suggest a possible origin and/or cause of the fire?

Electrical / Engine fire I was told.

Indeed. It was the one that is currently the official 004.
