There is no perfect crime, although this one almost was. Too bad the train driver became a victim. Biggs had his fun in life, no doubt, but this is finally coming to a close. Goodbye, Biggs.

He almost got away with it, as the person in the story commented his story will make a huge hollywood hit but he won't profit from it. I guess crime really doesn't pay.

I have visited Ronnie in Braziuol when h was in good health.

I'll always remember when he sang for the Sex Pistols he was such a card.

30 years for a robbery, a travesty, just like with the Krays. These days he would have received 5-10 years.

Live your last days in peace Ronnie, love.

30 years for a robbery, a travesty

I agree. Time and again I see murderers get off with 10 to 15 years and eligible for parole.
