This is the story of one of Britain's most famous crimes: the Great Train Robbery. In 1963, an English criminal called Bruce Reynolds had an idea for a crime. He wanted to rob the night mail train from Glasgow to London because he knew the train carried thousands of pounds. He also knew he couldn't work alone, so he called fifteen other criminals and told them about the job. He called it 'the big one'. 2. The gang bought a farmhouse in the middle of the countryside to escape to after the crime.

But now they had a problem - they needed to move the train to a bridge to unload the money, but their criminal train driver didn't understand the controls - he couldn't drive the train! 4. The thieves decided to drag the driver, Jack Mills, back onto the train to help them. Then they had a surprise. There was more than the thousands of pounds they thought would be on the train - there was over two and a half million! In those days that was a huge amount of money. 5. The men drove the money to their farmhouse and decided to wait there until the police ended their investigation. But this was a huge crime, and the police were looking everywhere. At last, the thieves became worried. They left the farmhouse with the money, and when the police found the house, they also found the men's fingerprints everywhere. The investigation continued, and the police started to arrest people. Many of the train robbers went to prison for thirty years for their crime. 6. I
