Quote from episode one of a new series, Railway Walks, exploring some of the disused tracks around the UK.
"Once upon a time this route was filled with buxom busy express trains."

So - is buxom meaning slightly fat, or does it mean pleasing curves? Seems like our society today wont' allow for "slightly fat" to fall within "pleasing", in general.
