Notes: On this day, September 11, The Beatles began their Magical Mystery Tour. The starting point was Allsop Place in London,
near Baker Street underground station, with a scheduled departure of 10:45 am. However, the coach was still being decorated
with the tour`s lettering and colours, resulting in a two-hour delay for the passengers, which included family members,
friends, fan club employees, actors, and other chosen travellers, for a total of 43 people.

Once the coach finally departed London via the A30, Neil Aspinall distributed 5 pound notes to each passenger to cover meal expenses
for the week.John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr joined the tour in Virginia Water, Surrey, near their
residences.Filming commenced shortly thereafter, with scenes improvised on the coach and during a lunch break at the Pied Piper restaurant in Basingstoke, Hampshire.

Late that evening, the coach arrived at its first stop, the Royal Hotel at The Den in Teignmouth, Devon, where everyone spent
the night.Footage on Adam Bounds reconstruction is a mix of the feature film plus all the available outtakes.
