A train driver has been sacked after stripping off while at the controls of a 125mph express.

The driver is thought to have used his mobile to take a naked picture of himself on a Sheffield to London train he was operating for Midland Main Line.

The driver is believed to have sent the picture to a Midland Main Line employee, who alerted bosses.

A Midland Main Line spokeswoman said today: "The driver was suspended straight away while we held a full investigation."
