CCTV seems to catch him out
LBC were all over this accusing him of being involved in 'traingate'.
However social media rallied around later in the day, when witnesses who were on the train confirmed Jeremy Corbyn's version of events.

Billionaire tries to desperately prevent train nationalisation...
What were Corbyn comments? He said something along the lines of he was sitting on the floor because the train was full (possible lie) like many do around the country every day/week (does anyone want to dispute this?) and it would be wrong to spend public money to ensure that he could get a seat when so many can't.
You can trip yourself up arguing whether there were seats and it was an hastily arranged stunt but I defy anyone to suggest that it's always easy to get a seat going from Paddington to Reading on the train home to Cardiff (whether you have booked seats or not) or that we don't have some of the most expensive rail fares in Europe for what is consistently a poor service.
The majority have been shown to support Corbyn's policy of bringing trains back into public hands, TFL being one of the best performing services in the UK, and this government also supports the notion, just as long as those public hands are Chinese or Dutch or French.
Yes
Of course, Virgin and Branson would have no reason to smear Corbyn with some doctored CCTV stills given that Corbyn wants to nationalise an industry that makes Branson a fortune out of taxpayer's money....
Absolutely right and I would have thought the party would have paid for it (or Corbyn himself). Having said that, some funding for each political party comes from the taxpayer, so in a way even if Labour paid for his trip it would have been paid, in part at least, by the taxpayer, though I doubt that's what was meant.
You don't mind our government shoveling millions of £££'s into privately organised anti-hate groups like CST, which evolved from the street thug gang 62, but one man on a train journey would make you "bloody annoyed"?
Rest easy Jeremy Corbyn's annual expenses are the lowest in parliament at £8.92 for a full year.
Do people realise the small pieces of paper on the seats means they are reserved?
More people coming forward backing up Corbyn's account of what took place.

MSM will have him painted as a Jihadist Nazi for the Sunday papers at this rate.
Best you ask his advisors.
It's not like there are any vested interests that would want to see the situation with regard to railways remain as it is.
