Interesting facts

Buster is a 1988 British romantic crime comedy-drama based on events from the Great Train Robbery of 1963, starring Phil Collins and Julie Walters.

Production

Pre-production began in 1987, with Collins first being associated with the project during Genesis' tour for their 13th studio album Invisible Touch (1986).

The robbery scenes where shot at the Great Central Railway Leicestershire with sister Class 40 preserved locomotive D306 (later 40106) made up with fake head code boxes added to resemble the actual locomotive D326.

The real Buster Edwards plays a small cameo during the arrival in Acapulco. He is seen walking out of the airport (62 minutes into the film) with his girlfriend, played by Phil Collins' wife, just before Buster, June, and Nicky also leave.
