The Great Train Robbery was the theft of a substantial sum of money from a Royal Mail train heading from Glasgow to London. The burglary took place in the early hours of Thursday, August 8, 1963, at Bridego Railway Bridge in England and was executed by an individual known as “the Ulsterman.” The culprits managed to get away with over £2.6 million, which would be about £59 million today ($77.5 million), and the bulk of the stolen money was never recovered.
