Woman fumes after train passenger's 'courteous' act deprives disabled partner of reserved seat

A woman whose fiancé suffers from a disability was left irate after a train passenger deprived the man of a seat, despite thinking they had carried out a "courteous" act.

She revealed that her partner has very poor joints, giving him pain and difficulties with his ankles, knees, and hips if he has to walk for extended periods of time, so she booked a seat for a train journey.

The carriage was quite full on their recent trip, so they were glad to have the seat reserved for the man to travel in comfort, reports the Mirror. When they got to the reserved seats, however, there was a person already in it, and their explanation for being there made the couple even angrier.
