Editing Great Train Robbery (1963) (section)

===Removing the money===
The train was stopped at Bridego Bridge, and the robbers' "assault force" attacked the HVP carriage. [[Frank Dewhurst]] was in charge of the three other postal workers (Leslie Penn, Joseph Ware and John O'Connor) in the HVP carriage. Thomas Kett, assistant inspector in charge of the train from [[Carlisle, Cumbria|Carlisle]] to Euston, was also in the carriage. Dewhurst and Kett were hit with coshes when they made a vain attempt to prevent the robbers from storming the carriage. Once the robbers had entered the carriage, the staff could put up no effective resistance and there was no police officer or security guard on board to assist them. The staff were made to lie face down on the floor in a corner of the carriage. Mills and Whitby were then brought into the carriage, handcuffed together, and put down beside the staff.<ref>The Great Train Robbery (2008) – Crime Archive Series by Peter Gutteridge</ref>

The robbers removed all but eight of the 128 sacks from the HVP carriage, which they transferred in about 15–20 minutes to the waiting truck by forming a human chain. The gang departed in their [[Austin Loadstar]] truck some 30 minutes after the robbery had begun and, in an effort to mislead any potential witnesses, they used two [[Land Rover]] vehicles, both of which bore the registration plates BMG 757A.
