First Great Train Robbery, The

The clue, the sign that says London Bridge Station is there to fool the unwary. Somewhere in Ireland, Dublin perhaps.

Heuston Station, Dublin, David and Andrew Brennan

Inside of said London Bridge Station, but likely to be inside Heuston Station in Dublin, Ireland. The station is features in 'Taffin' and 'I See a Dark Stranger'.

Heuston Station, Dublin. Andrew & David Brennan.

A fine house

Portico outside the east entrance to Heatherden Hall, Pinewood Studios. Simon Mills

......another shot

Heatherden Hall, Pinewood Studios. Simon Mills. Excellent.

Heuston station.

The dynamic duo strike again, well done chaps!

A reverse shot

David and Andrew sussed this one.

The office above the platform.

This is looking up to where the set would have stood. (PW)

Platform. roof detail and office. What more detail can we give you?

D & A

Supposed to be London Bridge Station...Ho Ho Ho...maybe a building in Dublin that you can identify?

Still tearing around Heuston Station, Dublin, David & Andrew

.....another view of "London Bridge Station".

....which it ain't, and well proven by Andrew and David.

.......surely known to Dubliners.

...and to our two sleuths!

Inside Heuston station with offices to the north of the building in the left background.

Seen from inside the coffee bar, the office block's stonework is still on view. (PW)

A repeat of the previous capture . . . . .

. . . . just to show the background building. (PW)

. . . and stairs leading to the office.

Replacing the Brennan brothers' longer shot of the location, this is roughly where the set was built. (PW)

A courtyard, maybe Trinity College, Dublin

Bank of Ireland, Dublin. David & Andrew. The "W" is a sign for the waxworks show. Perhaps a few of the bankers should be slowly dipped into the hot fat!

A station, twin track. Main line? Could this be Moate station in Westmeath?

Moate Station, Co. Westmeath 1851-1987. Photo by David Brennan. Area fenced off, so this is as close as he could get (though Mr. Connery would have jumped it!). Text by brother Andrew.

.....another perspective.

Moate Station by David Brennan. Buildings (more discernible in original pics)framed by bridge are those on right of train in 008a.

Can you take a photo to prove, or disprove?

Moate Station by David Brennan. Impossible now to get a match for 008b (itself a reverse shot of train going beyond the bridge). However "E" for effort, and thanks also to Andrew.

But which terminal station is this? Any trainspotters out there? Peter Wilton says; Cork Station, platform for local trains to Cobh.

Deliberately shot in B&W to give a period "feel", excellent creative work".........but let's not have too much more "imagination". Cork Kent Station, Cork, Ireland. David and Andrew Brennan.

....reverse shot.

David again.

Outside said station, note the curve of the buildings. Peter Wilton tells us; Cork Station, Ireland

David took the pic, a 600 mile round trip! And Andrew gets half the credit! MMMmmmmm.... Cork, Kent Station.

...same place, different view.

David and Andrew stike again. This double act reminds me of the reason that here in Italy the Carabinieri always go around in pairs. One who reads, and one who writes.....they say!

.....one more time

Forth and final in a set. Game and match to the Brennans.

The Courthouse.

Trinity College Dublin, spotted and snapped by David and Andrew

Is this Trinity again? Confirmed as such by Ann Wilson who watched the filming in summer '78.

Yes, well done D & A

.....Trinity College, Dublin, which can also be seen in 'Quackser Fortune Has a Cousin in the Bronx', 'The Blue Max', 'Shake Hands with the Devil', 'Das Schwarze Schaf' and 'Ulysses'.

.... and yes again, A & D
