Having caught fire at Doncaster on the 8th August 1979, whilst working the 1A00 06:06 York - King's Cross, 55019 (D9019) "ROYAL HIGHLAND FUSILIER" awaits attention at Doncaster works on Sunday 19th August. 55019 had continued its journey south to King's Cross on the 8th working on one power unit only, once the attending fire brigade had extinguished the fire, and returned to Doncaster light engine later in the day. Evidence of its exhaust fire can be seen streaking down the centre of the loco (above the nameplate) - 55019 was released back to traffic on the 1st September 1979.
