A sign showing a no kissing area is pictured at Warrington Bank Quay train station in Warrington.
Passengers 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 in northwest England.
A similar sign, this time permitting kissing, has been put up elsewhere in an area where kissing is
considered bearable.
"We have not forbidden 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
with lots of traffic."
"The sign is a light-hearted way of getting 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."
However, one station is trying to rescue love from the tracks.
High Wycombe, northwest of London, is having none of it and is actively encouraging passengers to enjoy
it.
"Kissing is welcome here!... we would never dream of banning kissing," says a poster of a cartoon couple
embracing (擁抱), circled by a pink heart.
"Railway stations are romantic places," insisted Kirsteen Robertson from Chiltern Railways.
"They are where fond farewells (告別) take place, where relationships start with a glance and even, in the
case of our Marylebone station last November, where one passenger will suggest to another over the public
address system."
"So our passengers are more than welcome to share a kiss in our stations."
