Remember Traingate?
Today this train is completely ram-packed.
These are the CCTV clips Richard Branson didn't show you.
What you are seeing for the first time in public,
are many other passengers sat on the floor,
of the same Virgin Train Jeremy Corbyn and his team traveled on.
What about all those empty seats he passed?
The image tweeted by Richard Branson claiming to show "unreserved seats",
clearly shows reserved seats.
But there were other images leaked to the press by Virgin Trains.
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, maybe 12 seats with no tickets what on earth?
That picture is the most embarrassing thing about this for Jeremy Corbyn.
I come to my initial point, he's a chump!
Let's have a closer look at those so-called "empty seats".
This was the image much of the media was happy to show the world.
Apparently, showing Jeremy Corbyn in his group of 5 walking past empty seats.
But what the footage reveals, is that most of these seats were in fact occupied.
Some passengers are only visible when they move into frame.
Others are children not shown in the initial photo.
This is the Truth Behind "Traingate"
On the 11th August 2016, Jeremy Corbyn in a group of 5, bordered the 11am virgin train,
from London Kings Cross to Newcastle.
He was offered a free First Class upgrade by the train staff, he declined.
The group of five walked the entire length of the train, passing many fellow passengers,
who failed to find seats, some stood others decided to sit on the floor.
The group of 5 reached the front of the train, in an impromptu moment Jeremy Corbyn,
sat on the floor and started reading his copy of Private Eye.
Yannis Mendez, the film-maker traveling with the group, filmed this impromptu moment.
Approximately 16 minutes into the journey Emma Reese, director of programming for the campaign,
went to talk with the conductor to see what could be arranged.
The conductor moved several passengers into First Class and seats became available.
Almost 40 minutes into the journey, the group walked back down the train to their new seats.
They passed many passengers who had given up on finding seats,
it appears some had even gone to sleep on the floor of the Train.
Over 2 hours into the journey, Yannis Mendez took the details from the passengers,
who had taken selfies with Jeremy Corbyn.
He passed passengers who were still sat on the floor.
This clip is 2 hours and 15 minutes into the journey.
Ellen and her 2 children were fellow passengers who also failed to find empty seats.
Ellen confirmed to the Guardian on the 24th August 2016,
that she was also sat on the floor and the Train was totally overcrowded.
Karen Harrison, traveling with her mother Rose, used this opportunity to take selfies with Jeremy Corbyn.
12 days later Karen Harrison tweeted that the train was indeed "chocka"
The group of 5 were not alone at the front of the Train.
Comedian Simon Lukacs also ended up at the front of the Train.
Twelve days later he tweeted at Richard Branson confirming:
He had stood on the train for a good deal of the journey as had others on the train.
11 minutes before the group arrived into Newcastle, Yannis Mendez took a picture of a young couple;
Sam and Iman who were also traveling to Newcastle.
This photo was taken at 13:46 they had been sat on the floor of the train for almost 3 hours.
The train arrived into Newcastle at approximately 13:57.
