A British train station has put up a no kissing sign to stop lovers going full steam ahead with their
overamorous 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 been put up at the dropoff point (落客处) at Warrington Bank Quay station in the town of Warrington,between Liverpool and Manchester in northwest England.
A similar sign,this time permitting kissing,has been put up elsewhere in a zone where kissing is considered
tolerable.
"We have not banned kissing in the station," said a spokesman for operators Virgin Rail.
"But we have put the sign up at the dropoff point because it is not a very big area and it often gets busy.
The sign is a lighthearted way of reminding people to move on quickly.If people wish to spend a little
more time with their loved ones before they leave,then they should park in the shortstay car park nearby."
The busy station links the town with the major cities London,Birmingham,Glasgow,Edinburgh,Liverpool
and Manchester.
However,one station is trying to rescue love from the tracks.High Wycombe,northwest of London,is
having none of it and is actively urging commuters to show their emotions in public.
"Kissing is welcome here!...we would never dream of banning kissing," says a poster of a cartoon
couple embracing,framed by a pink heart."Railway stations are romantic places," insisted Kirsteen Roberts
on from Chiltern Railways."They are where fond farewells and emotional reunions take place,where
relationships start with a glance and even,in the case of our Marylebone station last November where one
passenger will propose (求婚) to another over the public address system."
"So our passengers are more than welcome to share a kiss in our stations."
