Filming: A Hard Day’s Night

As on the previous day, The Beatles travelled between Acton, in west London, and Minehead in the west of England, filming more of the train sequences in their debut film A Hard Day’s Night.

The train stopped briefly at Crowcombe Heathfield Station in Somerset, where The Beatles ran and cycled alongside the slow-moving train to taunt a fellow passenger, played by Richard Vernon. “Hey, mister, can we have our ball back?”

  1. I have been trying to find out more about the train and the coaches. I was able to see a couple coaches numbers but not all.
    I have learned that the train scenes at Marylebone was a different train then the one used for the rest of the movie. Any info would be great.

  2. I have been a Beatles fan since they first came out ! now at 68 I am still a fan . back then music was music not this crap they have now ! we need a band like the Beatles ! the Beatles were different sounding , looking , ect . everything now pretty much sounds the same .
