OK, but the whole point of a railway station is to catch a train – NOT to catch some nasty communicable sexually transmitted disease.
Whilst it’s all very well for a spotty youth and his pubescent teenie girlfiend to be locked in some parody of a loving embrace, the majority of travellers simply want to catch their train and not have to be subjected to the intrusive sounds of adolescent lurve.
Colin Daniels, the chief executive of Warrington Chamber of Commerce, has exactly the right idea. Virgin trains should be what their name suggests – fit for virgins to use. If their customes have to run the gauntlet of ghastly people making love orally, their whole travel experience will be tainted by impure thoughts.
