The second day of filming for A Hard Day’s Night. The Beatles boarded a train at Acton Main Line railway station in west London, and headed for Minehead in the west country.
On board they filmed parts of the train sequences in the early part of the film. The moving train gave the filming a suitably cramped and claustrophobic atmosphere, conveying the pressures felt by The Beatles in the early part of 1964.

Cleverest, most interesting, and funny “rock” movie. I always notice something new. Last one: in George’s scene with the music mogul pushing the latest gear, George says at the end, “Have I said something amiss?'” “Amiss”? Most highschoolers do not know or use that word. George was high IQ and didn’t let school get in the way of his education. (Of course, it might have keeping the script. But even so.)
