WARRINGTON (AFP) – A train station has erected a no kissing sign to stop lovers going full steam ahead with their over-amorous farewells.
Commuters have been told: if you want to get up to that kind of business, do it in the car park.
The sign has gone up at the drop-off point at Warrington Bank Quay station in the town of Warrington, between Liverpool and Manchester.
A man in a hat and a woman with a curly-looking hair-do puckering up show people where they cannot get down to some full-on lip-locking before boarding the 07:22 to Llandudno.
A similar kissing permitted sign has also been erected in a zone where smooching is considered tolerable.
“We have not banned kissing in the station,” insisted a spokesman for operators Virgin Rail.
“But we have put the sign up at the drop off point because it is not a very big area and it often gets busy with lots of traffic.
“The sign is a light-hearted way of getting people to move on quickly.
