Re: The Great Train Robbery
I didn't see the programme but I think I'm right in saying they are all now dead. Buster Edwards, who the film 'Buster' starring Phil Collins was about, apparently ran a flower stall outside Waterloo Station for years after he came out of prison. He then apparently hanged himself in a garage. I read in the paper today that the ashes of that oh-so-nice-guy Ronnie Biggs are going to be scattered in two or three different places - one of which is the site where the robbery took place! Very weird!

No, sorry to pick you up again but they are not all dead. Gordon Goody, Bob Welch, Bill Jennings, Tommy Wisbey and one or two others including a very famous and rich one who has never been linked publicly but was involved are still around.

In the underworld among the faces of course.
Re: The Great Train Robbery
So if this was never made public.... does that mean you have information you obtained PRIVATELY from the underworld?
