Very Brief Encounters for rail travellers

Couples have been banned from kissing at a railway station in Cheshire because it holds up other passengers. No-kissing signs have appeared in the taxi rank at Warrington Bank Quay Station forcing lovers to use designated areas only.

The signs were erected after concerns that passionate embraces were causing delays for commuters at the station which is believed to be the first in the country to put up such signs.

Colin Daniels, chief executive of the Warrington Chamber of Commerce who came up with the idea, said: “They may seem frivolous but there is a serious message underneath.”

Virgin Rail says that if passengers want to share an embrace before they part company, they should pay to park their cars nearby where they can kiss all they want.
