1964 Great Train Robbers sentenced to a total of 307 years behind bars.
Nowadays they would have got 5 years and out. If they were unlucky. The haul was 'only' £2m, but because a guard got brain injuries, they threw the book at them. One man was never identified or caught. They became sort of 'public celebrities' on the same lines as the mythical Robin Hood.
