Question

Where was the train stopped in the 1963 great train robbery?

Answer 1

Near Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire, down a country lane with the railway bridge running overhead

Answer 2

Owiginalwabbit is correct.  Biggs and his crew were scum.

Virtually all criminals are lazy parasites, who aren't especially clever.  They deserve to respect whatsoever.

Answer 3

I wont dispute the answers, they are correct, I would take exception to the statement that all criminals are lazy parasites.

Parasites yes, exactly so but some of them are definitly NOT lazy, they seem to go to much more work in their lives of crime than if they actually tried working. Hard to figure them out.

Answer 4

In it's tracks!

Answer 5

Yes Aug 1963, this happened, Driver Jack Mills was severely beaten around the head with an iron bar,I hope Biggs & co rot in h**l.

Answer 6

Bridego Railway Bridge, Ledburn near Mentmore in Buckinghamshire.

The robbers put a decoy stop signal on the track. They severely injured the driver, beating him on the head. He died little over a year later from his injuries. Sadly, under English Law, the victim must die within a year and a day of the attack for there to be a murder charge, but everyone know what killed him. So all you people who hero-worship nasty toe-rags like Ronnie Biggs, the Krays etc, just remember this was NOT a victimless crime. They were vile, murderous thugs.
