This No Kissing sign was unveiled at Warrington Bank Quay railway station in Warrington, England, Monday Feb. 16, 2009, in a bid to cut delays. The sign has been placed at the drop off point, because departing passengers and drivers block access to the station with their vehicles while saying goodbye to each other. Virgin Rail, which runs the station, says if passengers want to share an embrace before they part company, their loved ones should pay to park their cars nearby.
