    2013 marks the 50th anniversary of the infamous 'Great Train Robbery'. To mark this gruesome anniversary we have a new exhibition at The Engine House, our Visitor Centre at Highley.The exhibition opens on March 22nd. Admission is free for holders of 'Freedom of the Line', Kidderminster to Bridgnorth (or reverse) return tickets.Remember gang members 'Buster' Edwards, Ronald Biggs and the mastermind, Bruce Reynolds?Now you can get the full story by visiting this exhibition located, appropriately, alongside a travelling post office carriage formerly owned by the Post Office. What colour did the robbers paint the truck that carried the 'loot' away from the train? How many bags of banknotes were left behind?We provide the answers!'The Great Train Robbery - 50 years on' is open throughout the season.
