Lost something on public transport?

How to track down an item left on a bus, train, tram, or taxi by contacting the right transport operator.

Items left on buses, trains, trams, and taxis around Bristol are usually handed in to the operator's lost property team — the trick is contacting the right one quickly.

  1. Identify the operator. Note the route, line, or company and the rough time. Each operator runs its own lost property process.
  2. Submit a lost property report. Use the operator's online form or phone line as soon as possible; recovered items are logged against your description.
  3. For taxis and rideshare, contact the driver or company directly through your booking or app receipt.
  4. Keep your reference. Save any report number so you can chase it up.
  5. Post a listing. Add a listing for Bristol in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost Chargers near Bristol Cathedral this morning; hoping for help

I realized my chargers were missing on my way to work, around 9:42 a.m. this morning near Bristol Cathedral on College Green. They were a blue Anker charger set with a white USB-C cable tucked in a black pouch. Losing them felt like losing a lifeline for travel and work today, and I retraced my steps along College Green, hoping someone nearby might have seen them. If these chargers belong to you or you have any memory of them, I’d really appreciate a note through this listing so I can get back on the road with my devices.

lost Organizers in Bristol City Centre

I lost my Organizers last night. Around 8:20 p.m. I’d just left St Nicholas Market with a tote full of craft stuff and crossed Broad Street, and when I looked back they were gone. The Organizers are a pale gray plastic set with clear drawers and little handwritten labels I use for events. They also hold a few notes and a pile of fabric scraps I can’t replace easily. I’m anxious about replacing them because they keep my schedule straight for the community group I help run.

Lost: Utensils near St Nicholas Market, Bristol

On Wednesday afternoon at 15:15, I realised my utensils had gone missing during a community kitchen event near St Nicholas Market in Bristol. I must have left them on a bench by the market stalls while I washed up, because when I turned back they were gone. They’re a mismatched assortment—an old wooden-handled spatula, a couple of stainless forks, and a battered tin spoon—stuff I reach for everyday, and it matters to me more than you might think. If you’ve seen them, please know they’re important to me and I’m hoping for their safe return.

Lost holiday decorations in Bristol city centre

I’m Emily Clarke. On Friday, December 15, around 7:45 PM, I was tidying up my flat near Park Street in Bristol when a gust knocked a box and my holiday decorations spilled out. The set includes a string of warm white fairy lights, a red-and-gold star topper, and a small handmade wooden reindeer. I checked the living room, hallway, and the stairwell of our block, but they’re gone. The flat feels a little empty without them, and I keep thinking about the last photo I took beside the tree at 7:30 PM. If someone found them, I’d be grateful to have them back—these mean a lot to me.

Lost photographs in Bristol

I lost a folder of photographs at 9:45 p.m. yesterday outside the Arnolfini on the Harbourside in Bristol. The folder is a worn black leather case, contents include candid shots from family trips, a mix of color prints and a few black-and-white portraits. They’re priceless to me because they capture moments with my grandfather who passed away last year. If they’re found along the Harbourside walk or near St Nicholas Market, I’d be beyond grateful to have them back.
