Absolutely I love having to watch the people in front excavating each others faces with their tongues. Perhaps banning is harsh though, not really a fan of banning stuff, to bad people cant be shamed into doing stuff these days.

From the article -
"If lovers want to smooch, they have to do so in the designated kissing area situated nearby"

So, not actually "banned" then?

Nope..

I have to admit, it seems a little extreme to me, but if they *are* causing an obstruction while kissing then, tbh, I think they (the kissers) should be a little more considerate of other people.

Remember people are often selfish. It may be very romantic having a last kiss before you leave, but you also may be blocking someone else from getting the train they need to.

I have to admit, there is something I sometimes wish they would ban at one of my local stations. Umbrellas. Because they are installing lifts in one of the two tunnels linking the platforms and the exit, they are down to one tunnel. As such, it gets busy in the morning, and can take 5 minutes to get into the tunnel.

When it rains, it takes an extra ten minutes because people insist on farting around putting their umbrellas down ane leaving it to the last possible second before they go under cover (can't risk the supposed bad luck by having an umbrella that is "up" when they go under the platform roof, but can't risk getting even slightly wet by putting their umbrella down while walking up to the covered part of the platform).

As I use Warrington Bank Quay on a regular basis I think I can add some appropriate comment! As usual I think its been blown out of all proportion and misses the original point, the signs are at best misguided, at worst a blatant waste of money that singularly fails to address the problem at Warrington station.

Even at busy times the station concourse is never that busy that kissing causes a problem for passengers on foot, its the people who get out of their car to kiss the departee leaving their car blocking the road! The fact that they now stop and gawp at the stupid signs makes it WORSE....:mad:

The redesign of the station has provided a single NARROW drop off lane outside the station. The approach road is veryshort and can lead to traffic backing up on to the main road. Its not the kissing thats the problem for pedestrains its traffic backing onto the road. I think the objective was to get people to drop off and go keeping the drop off zone free and unobstructed. If you park in a designated space then I think you be able to kiss to your hearts content...:)

By the way the signs have been up for at least two weeks so its good to see the media on the case............

In fact we should forget the real problem and have a laugh at the badly designed signs.:D
