Part 1 of 2, The Great train Robbery.
Might not interest some of you but it was big news when it happened, only thing that got it off the front page was JFK a few months later.
I remember it all, they found Ronald Biggs here years later and he got away to South America. Most of the money was never found, 2.6 million English pounds then is equal to around $60 million US now so it was a big deal.

Most of them didn't end up too well though. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-21619150
Was interesting to me anyway.
