"Kiss and Ride" introduced at Preston

[northwichcat]

This seems to be a re-worked version of what Virgin previously did at Warrington Bank Quay.

What do you think about the new sign at Preston Railway Station? @leponline I think it's brilliant. #cute

Kiss & Ride

And many years ago at Leeds.

And what you'll find all over the place outside larger railway stations in the Netherlands.

Don't quite get why this is "amusing?" I thought Kiss & Ride was the standard term for such a thing.

 

[WatcherZero]

Standard term in planning, not very common on signage in the UK.

There's a sign for one outside Harrow and Wealdstone station and can be seen from plt6, I just figured someone had made it for a laugh

Not a railway, but there is a 'kiss fly zone' at Luxembourg Airport which has a maximum of 30 minutes. Some kiss.......!

Sometimes known as 'Peck and Ride'

Maybe it is, but I'm still not 100% sure what the thing is. Will a taxi driver be happy with a kiss instead of a tip?

Depends on the passenger, of course

More seriously, wouldn't a fairly major station such as Preston have a taxi rank separate from the kiss and ride zone?

Well, it's just the other side of the same road.
