We will do our best to make sure that you get your lost property back as quickly as possible.

Hundreds of items are left on our buses every week.  Our drivers collect property left on our buses and take it back to the depot to be registered.  Our depot teams will do their best to get every item registered on the system the next day, but it can take up to 2 working days for this to happen.

In most cases, we’ll keep any lost property for a month to give you time to claim it.  We can’t do this though if the item is perishable (e.g. food) or if it’s a debit or credit card.  For bank cards, In-line with guidance from the banks, to protect the owner from risk of fraud, we destroy cards securely when found, please contact your bank as soon as possible.

If you’ve left something on one of our buses, the best way to get it back is to complete the contact form at the bottom of this page and select "Lost Property" from the drop-down menu.  Please give as much detail as you can about the bus trip and the item to help us track it down for you.

If we find a potential match on the system, we’ll email you to let you know where and when you can collect your item. This will usually be within 2 or 3 days depending on how quickly found items are registered on the system. If you want to check if your item has been found after a couple of days and you haven’t heard from us, then please contact our customer service team on the number listed in the contact us page below.
