Here's some information for long-suffering rail commuters. The Department of Transport has published details of the most overcrowded trains in the country, external, as of last autumn. The worst offender was the 4.22 am between Glasgow Central and Manchester Airport, operated by TransPennine Express, which had a "load factor" of 186%. In layman's language, this means that it has room for 191 passengers but, on average, 355 people were using it everyday. Rail minister Claire Perry says she shares customers' frustration about overcrowding and she expects "the rail industry, including operators, to continue to develop innovative proposals to meet the capacity challenge head on". 

Sir John Chilcot, chair of the Iraq Inquiry, has issued the last update on the inquiry's progress, external. He says the inquiry has received the last responses under the so-called Maxwellisation process, whereby witnesses likely to be criticised in the draft report are given the right to reply. In a letter to MPs on the Foreign Affairs Committee, he writes: "There is, inevitably, further work for my colleagues and I to do to evaluate those submissions, which are detailed and substantial, in order to establish with confidence the time needed to complete the Inquiry's remaining work. As soon as I am able to I shall write to the prime minister with a timetable for publication of the Inquiry's report."

Mr Farage also jokes that Mr Juncker would be "welcome" to visit the UK in the run-up to the forthcoming referendum on EU membership, suggesting the British people will "warm to him" but that unless he takes action over immigration this could tip the balance in favour of the Out campaign and be the decisive factor in the UK voting to leave the EU. As the camera pans to Mr Juncker, the European Commission president looks on impassively. 

Nigel Farage has just speaking in the European Parliament. He says the EU's asylum policy is "completely wrong" and has directly led to people in "biblical proportions...throwing their passports into the Meditteranean" making their way to Europe. To jeers from sections of the audience, he says there is evidence that jihaddists are using "this route to get to European soil" and suggests the EU should follow the lead of the Australian government in the 1990s and "to stop the boats from coming" until proper checks can be made. 

The Queen is celebrating her 23,226th day on the throne by re-opening the rail link between Edinburgh and the Scottish Borders, closed in 1969. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is also attending the event in Edinburgh. 

There is a lively debate going on after Mr Juncker's State of the Union address, with one MEP wearing a mask of the German Chancellor Angela Merkel and many MEPs holding up signs saying "refugees welcome". Belgian MEP and former prime minister Guy Verhofstadt takes the UK and other countries to task for going their own way in response to the refugee crisis. He says it is a matter of "collective responsibility" for Europe not an opportunity to "pick and choose". Calling for further harmonisation of immigration and asylum policies, he says that the crisis has not been exacerbated "not by too much Europe but a lack of Europe". 

The leader of the Conservative group in the European Parliament, Syed Kamall, is now speaking. He starts with an attack on the European Union, saying that it is too often "paralysed by ideology and dogma" and its policies are too often "castles in the sand". Mr Kamall, who is bidding to be Tory candidate for London mayor, said the EU should not dictate how many refugees individual countries should take, saying this might "make you feel better but it risks making the crisis worse", adding that countries can help in different ways. 

Politics Home, external is reporting details of the new membership of the Commons Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC). Among the new members, it says, are former attorney general Dominic Grieve and former international development minister Alan Duncan. The committee members, who are required to sign the Official Secrets Act, are appointed by the prime minister. The ISC's  previous chairman Sir Malcolm Rifkind stood down before the election amid questions about lobbying allegations.

After more than an hour at the podium in Strasbourg, Mr Juncker finishes speaking. There is warm applause. In response, leading European politician Martin Schulz pays tribute to Mr Juncker, saying he lost his mother recently and but continued to dedicate himself to his work, adding that he "put his duty before his personal feelings". 

Speaking in the European Parliament. Jean-Claude Juncker has made a passionate plea for European countries to take more refugees from Syria, chastising them by saying they are lagging far behind Syria's neighbours, such as the Lebanon. He has rejected claims that the Commission has been slow to act, saying it had been aware of the problems for months and adopted a new policy on migration. Not for the first time, Mr Juncker has been heckled by UKIP leader Nigel Farage. But Mr Juncker has hit back, saying his views "count for nothing".

And lest we forget, it is also the last full day of campaigning in the Labour leadership contest. The contest seems to have been going on for an eternity but Thursday is the deadline for people to vote ahead of Saturday's result. The four candidates are making last-minute pitches for votes. Meanwhile, according to new research by Google News Labs for the BBC, Jeremy Corbyn is way out in front of his three rivals when it comes to internet searches - but there are some interesting local variations. The data is broken down into constituencies in a clickable map. Give it a try here. 

Education Secretary Nicky Morgan and Culture Secretary John Whittingdale are also up before MPs on their respective departmental committees today. Expect Ms Morgan to be asked about the expansion of free schools and the school starting age - amid talk by ministers that something needs to be done to address the disadvantages faced by summer-born babies. And Mr Whittingdale is likely to face questions about the future of the BBC and drug-taking in athletics - two subjects that have been in the news this week.
