Bruce Reynolds was the mastermind behind it.
And the story goes that... Because Ronnie Biggs was trying to live a straight life.
Ronnie Biggs as well.
Do you know what I mean?
He was sort of doing this, that, and nicking cars and doing robberies and things like that.
But he was definitely trying to go straight down in Surrey with his wife and kids.
1963.
Yeah, with Charmian Biggs, his wife.
And then...
he needed a deposit for their house and he turned to his friend, Bruce Reynolds and said, listen, I desperately need 500 quid for this deposit.
And he said, look, I haven't got it, Ronnie.
Everything I've got is tied up in this big job that I'm doing, but I can give you a place on that job if you're willing to come onto the crew.
And in actual fact, they needed a train driver to drive the locomotive.
And it was Ronnie Biggs himself that,
that his friend peter was a train driver and he got him involved in it but here's the thing on the night of the robbery peter couldn't drive the train like for whatever reason it was like the wrong uh make model and he and they got told to sit in the van and they actually never touched the mailbag they actually physically never handled the mailbag off the train itself and then you know
They're in the hideout.
And then one by one, they all get caught.
And they got sentenced to 30 years in prison.
Wow.
That's a crazy amount.
