A British train station has put up 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 been put up at the drop?off 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 drop?off point because it is not a very big area and it often gets busy. The sign is a light?hearted 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 short?stay 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 Robertson 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.”
