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?”

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.
did you ever find out the train seat numbers?
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 .
