Ronnie Biggs on the day the Express paid him a fortuneand called cops
Great train robber Ronnie Biggs was relaxing in his trunks and thinking of the £35, fee a newspaper interview had just netted him, when he heard the knock at the door he had been dreading for nearly a decade.
Biggs instantly recognised the tall man who entered room of the Trocadero Hotel on Copacabana beachfront as “Old Bill” from London and swore.
On his 34th birthday, in the early hours of August 8, , Biggs was part of a strong gang which boarded and robbed an overnight train in Buckinghamshire which was carrying sacks full of cash from Glasgow to London.
The brazen heist netted more than £million (£50million today).
Twelve of the men, including Ronnie, were caught following a major manhunt.
In Biggs was jailed for 30 years, but in July , after just 15 months inside Wandsworth Prison, he escaped.
