The roads where the hi-jacks took place do look remarkably deserted, even for 1963!

When the duo board the train, one of the real passengers looks at the camera and appears to wonder what is going on.

Depending on which inflation calculator one uses, £20K in 1963 (the value of the first hi-jacked cargo) would be worth £360K or £420K today.
