Summary
A red signal stopped the Glasgow-to-London mail train. A few days later, a farmhouse full of ordinary objects gave investigators a trail to follow.

The 1963 Great Train Robbery took roughly £2.6 million. Follow the false signal, the injured driver, the abandoned postal sacks and the Monopoly board that became part of a much larger investigation. Later claims about an insider remain distinct from what the original enquiry established.

True Crime Stories for No Sleep. Carefully researched historical mysteries, told in a warm conversational voice with non-graphic detail.

Follow the show for new stories on Monday and Thursday at noon, Algeria time. Narration is AI-generated.
