I received this notice from Mills & Boon in relation to the Virgin Trains kissing ban in England.
Mills & Boon® and Virgin Trains kiss and make up…
Following Mills & Boon’s passionate opposition to Virgin Train’s kissing ban at Warrington train station, Virgin have been seduced by the world’s leading publisher of romantic fiction.

Warrington-based Mills & Boon author Annie Burrows and Virgin Trains’ Director of Communications Arthur Leathley will be launching the initiative at Warrington Bank Quay station at 9.45am.
Kissing-friendly platform events taking place throughout the day include:
