63 years ago today — the Great Train Robbery.
£2.6m was stolen after a false signal stopped a Royal Mail train, creating one of Britain’s most infamous crimes.
But behind the legend were railwaymen: driver Jack Mills, and secondman David Whitby, deeply affected by the ordeal.

Fast forward to today looking superb in the sunshine,
A transformation worth celebrating.
