I have never noticed this red plaque on Crewe station's

platform twelve so I am not at all sure if it has recently been unveiled? It commemorates the bravery shown by the driver and second man of the 1M44 that was stopped and robbed by a ruthless gang of thugs in the summer of 1963 at Bridego bridge just north of Cheddington. Both men received dreadful injuries with Jack Mills later dying from these after never being able to work again. For this reason, I fail to understand how in popular culture the thieves have become some sort of heroes who beat the establishment and how I also resent the whole event being referred to as the 'great' train robbery, great it certainly was not.
