One of the Post Office carriages that was part of the remaining train (not involved in the actual robbery) is preserved at the [[Nene Valley Railway]] at [[Peterborough]], Cambridgeshire, and is being restored. The actual carriage that was robbed [M30204M] was retained for seven years following the robbery, and then taken to Norfolk and burned in the presence of police and Post Office representatives at a scrapyard near Norwich in 1970. This was to deter collector/souvenir hunters. Locomotive [[British Rail Class 40|English Electric Type 4 – D326]] (later 40126) was involved in a number of serious operating incidents. The locomotive was scrapped at Doncaster Railway workshops in 1984.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cfps.co.uk/class40story.htm |title=CFPS Class 40-story |publisher=Cfps.co.uk |access-date=6 March 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100218164900/http://www.cfps.co.uk/class40story.htm |archive-date=18 February 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The retrieved Monopoly board used by the robbers at their Leatherslade Farm hideout and a genuine £5 note from the robbery are on display at the [[Thames Valley Police]] museum in [[Sulhamstead]], Berkshire.

For some years [[Network Rail]] described the location of the robbery as "Train Robbers' bridge" in their [[Sectional Appendix|infrastructure records]], and a structure identification plate showing this was attached to the bridge. This led to an outcry advocating restoration of the original name of Bridego Bridge. In late 2013 Network Rail bowed to public pressure, but this time named it Mentmore Bridge.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.railwaymagazine.co.uk/news/pressure-make-network-rail-change-bridge-name |title=Pressure make Network Rail change bridge name |work=The Railway Magazine |access-date=24 December 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131219024401/http://www.railwaymagazine.co.uk/news/pressure-make-network-rail-change-bridge-name |archive-date=19 December 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The sign was replaced around 2017.
