What you need to know


The Great Train Robbery, 1963

 

 Did you know there were local links to the crime? Did you know they stopped a train that was travelling over 80MPH? How much did the robbers actually manage to steal? This talk isn't a celebration of the crime nor the robbers, it is the story of Ian's research into the robbery which took place in 1963.
