Welsh TV station, S4C recently filmed an interview with my father, the guard of the Irish Mail, robbed by the Great Train Robbery gang in Feb. 1963. The feature is now available online, here:
It was partly filmed at Holyhead station and features the penknife my father used to cut free himself and the ticket collector, whom he thought the robbers had killed, so badly was he beaten.

The train robbery feature starts at around 11mins. It's in Welsh, but simply press 'S' and select English subtitles to understand what's being said.
Thanks.
