Jeremy Corbyn donned a baseball cap and inspected a train toilet today, it has emerged.

The Labour leader and noted train enthusiast was paying a visit to Wabtec Rail in Doncaster to launch his plan to 'upgrade Britain's economy' by giving councils more to support British firms bidding for public sector contracts.

He was photographed leaning on the doorframe of the disabled access loo, wearing a baseball cap and eye goggles.

It's thought the baseball cap was protective.

Mr Corbyn says Brexit will allow a future Labour government to favour UK firms bidding for state spending.

At the moment Brussels' rules mean major public contracts have to open to firms in all EU countries.

The Labour leader says leaving the EU offers the chance to use the £200billion spends each year in private sector on supporting British firms and suppliers.

Firms applying for public sector contracts would have to abide by a code of conduct, which would include agreeing to a pay ratio of no more than 20:1 between the highest and lowest paid.

It is, of course, not the first time Jeremy Corbyn and trains have made it into the same story.

Most recently, in September, the Labour leader was found sitting in a Mirror reporter's seat on a train to the party's annual conference.
