On the 60th anniversary of what became known as the 'heist of the century', the Sky News Daily podcast speaks to the son of the man who led the audacious raid.
In August 1963, a group of 15 robbers boarded a Royal Mail train travelling from Glasgow to London and stole about £2.6m.
These newly rich fugitives had pulled off the complete opposite - but when they stepped off the train in Buckinghamshire carrying 120 bags of cash, their journey was far from over.Bruce Reynolds, the mastermind of the robbery, was one of those who fled the country as police began a game of cat and mouse that would captivate the British public for years.
"I never picked up any anxiety or stress from my mother or my father, so I had no reason to believe anything was wrong."Mr Reynolds began to suspect his father might not be all he seemed when they suddenly had to leave Mexico for Canada, before heading to the south of France and then back to England."My father was always so well dressed, he kind of based himself on Cary Grant in the film To Catch A Thief.
Mr Reynolds says his father pleaded guilty and agreed to hand over what he had left of the £150,000 he gained from the robbery - but he is not clear how much that remaining amount was.
