According to Empire magazine, Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) are attacked by Black Order assassins in the railway station - only for Captain America (Chris Evans), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Falcon (Anthony Mackie) to ride to the rescue.

Discussing the action which unfolds at Waverley, director Anthony Russo said: “We structured that scene like a horror film. We try to give each sequence in the film a slightly different tone and concept, based on the characters driving that sequence.”

A video on Youtube (embedded) clearly shows the city chambers 10 seconds in.
