Totally agree. Broke up the boredom of living in the UK. Even today, still a great historical event. Sad for Jack Mills but if he had just stayed calm , no-one was going hurt him. He would have carried on like the other driver Whitby.

I am always amazed at how good the spoken English was in that era.

No criminal master minds, just ordinary criminals, who each carried out different crimes.. They all balls of steel and gave no fux. Im unsure on them being accused of being the cause of Jim mills death, not nice what they did to him, maybe he got saucy and needed a clump to make him behave,

Different breed of criminal. When Ronnie Biggs had his stroke and wanted to return to the UK He phoned the yard and asked to speak to slipper. He was told slipper had retired, he explained he wanted to return to the UK and wanted slipper to meet him at the airport. He told them slipper had tried to extradite him from Brazil many times over the years and he thought it was only fair he should finally get his man.

Jailing the robbers in 1964, Mr Justice Edmund Davies told them that "to deal with this case leniently would be a positively evil thing" and duly sent most of them down for 30 years. Yet the previous year the same judge had reduced the sentence on appeal of one Charles Connelly, who had been involved in a robbery in which a van driver in Mitcham, Surrey, was shot dead. Cutting his term from 15 to 10 years, Davies said: "The sentence was excessive." - The Guardian. Listening to them all complaining about the time they got, never thought twice about stealing a great deal of money and using up police time and a great deal of the public funds. This was a different age and there was some justice then but for a murderer to get away with 10 years was ridiculous then and is now.

Completely believable to me, I walked through Streatham Cemetry at the bottom of Garrett Lane a few years ago to see if I could find Charlie’s grave, found it almost immediately, sadly it was a little overgrown, I took a few minutes to tidy it up, for no other reason than I had always had a romantic opinion of the Great Train Robbery visiting Bridego Bridge (fair walk from Cheddington station) a couple of years ago.

Back around the time my dad was working at Bedford power station.. He had an accident and had to be driven to the Luton and Dunstable hospital then on home to Kingsbury.. The tea boy on the job was the one who had to take him.. Turned out it was Roy James of the great train robbery gang.. My mum spoke to him thought he was a lovely bloke.. You never know who you'd be working with 😁

Jack Mills the Driver was hurt very badly and was never the same again. Violent men.

It was mainly because the money had been taken from the Post Office so a crime against 'the state' so the judge was determined to use them to send a message out to the proles.....don't mess with the state otherwise you'll get sent down for a very long time.

Mills had two days in hospital for a 6 million pounds robbery and they got 30 years - nowadays they stab you for a watch and don't even go to prison or even kill you for nothing and say they did not mean to and get out after 4 or 5 years max (helped by tricky lawyers) - its happening every week in the UK - interesting progress our justice and legal system has made. The irony is generally speaking people have far more now than they did back then, so what's the reason? It can only be tolerance to crime and making excuse for the criminals. I know thats not a fashionable thing to say these days. I guess its just one of those paradox - the more you give they they will want, it reminds me of that old saying "never give anyone anything, they will only ever hate you for it" - I guess thats why I like these old school criminals at least they were go-getters and took responsibility for their crimes.
