RAIL

23 February 2021: Waterloo Station, London, UK

The UK’s South Western Railway is having to apologize to a size 18 woman due to an inspector who described her as being of “fat build”. The rail firm said the word ‘fat’ was used to describe Natasha Kaur and that it was derogatory but only after she made a formal complaint following a row over not having a valid ticket. The rail worker called the 28-year-old a woman of ‘fat build’ in the written description when she could not produce her ticket. Kaur said she did not realize her ticket had expired until she got to London Waterloo.
