| 799003 | 2009-08-07 08:15:00 | The whole thing is a bit mythical, it wasn't a particularly great train. Fairly ordinary for those days actually. 2.6 million pounds were taken. $75,000,000 in todays' money. Mythical? So you suspect it did not happen? |

| 799006 | 2009-08-07 09:37:00 | Biggs was a two-bit thief who played a minor part in the actual robbery. Jack Mills the train driver was beaten about the head with an iron bar, never really recovered, never worked again and died seven years later. I find the romanticising of Biggs - who has never shown any remorse - to be sickening. |

I find the romanticising of Biggs - who has never shown any remorse - to be sickening. Agreed. No remorse shown at all to this day which is why he has not been paroled earlier. He lived the life of Riley in South America for many years before going back to the UK. |

| 799008 | 2009-08-07 10:07:00 | I don't know why the authorities didn't just send a hit man to take are of him years ago. I'm sure it could have been done successfully back in the 60's and would have cost a hell of a lot less than all those years of court costs trying to extradite him. | gary67 (56) | ||
