On 8 August 1963, just about 30 miles north of London, a red light brought the 'up' Travelling Post Office to a halt. A few minutes later the locomotive and the first two carriages moved slowly forward - with a posse of fifteen extra men on board. It travelled the few hundred yards to Bridego Bridge where it was robbed. The train, the robbers, the railwaymen, and the postmen made the headlines as one of British histories most legendary crimes took place.
An act of audacity, cunning and dare-devilry which became a story of tragedy, jinx, and violence.
ubbed 'the Great Train Robbery', it was the cops and robbers story, to end all cops and robbers stories. Like it or not, with it's newsworthiness, books, documentaries and feature films, it has an enduring appeal.
