Jeremy Corbyn struggled to contain his delight on social media after making the front cover of Rail Magazine.

The new Labour leader's proposals to nationalise the rail network were the focus of the train enthusiast magazine's October front page.

Corbyn is a lifelong reader of the publication, which provides news, comment and analysis of trains and railways.

He tweeted: "Lifelong reader of Rail Magazine makes front page for People's Railway!"

His tweet, which has been favourited 850 times, received a mixed response on Twitter.
