Great Train Robbery gang leader reveals insider

Fifty years have passed since a 15-strong gang carried out the ‘Great Train Robbery’; yet the insider remained unknown until now as the mastermind Gordon Goody has revealed who helped them.
The 85-year-old, speaking before the release of his book, tells of how the gang put the job off for a day after their inside man – Patrick McKenna – revealed a larger haul of cash would be available if they waited.

Although the frail octogenarian does not deny his part in the £2.5m robbery on 8 August 1963, he insists he was set up.
