Isn't there a rumour in every northern city that during the 60s the Krays came to town on a train to take over the local crime scene, and the local gang met them at the main station of the town and put them back on the train to London.
This actually happened. My grandad was a pub landlord many years ago and many of the barrow boys were meeting in his pub. He went to Central Station (formerly GMEX) with the barrow boys who were all standing on the platform wth bike chains, guns and other associated weapons and the Krays didn't even step off the train. They did a complete about turn and headed back to London. My grandad told my dad and he told me so I accept it as being true
