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 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.

Lost carry-ons in Bristol city center

Morning, I’ve just realized my carry-ons are missing. I last had them around 9:10 a.m. today at Bristol Temple Meads Station, left on a luggage rack near the main concourse by the clock. They include a navy rolling suitcase and a smaller black backpack with a red tag, plus a light gray tote. I’ve got travel plans today and I’m worried about tickets and personal gear inside. If anyone handed them in or saw them left unattended, please help keep them safe somewhere near the station—ideally at the lost-and-found or the upper concourse.

Lost Avians near Bristol Harbourside

Hello, I am Emily Carter. I lost my Avians yesterday around 6:45 p.m., near Clifton Downs and the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol. They slipped from their cage when a cyclist rode past and vanished into the hedges; I have been checking the parks, streets, and Harbourside since. They are two small green budgerigars who love to chatter, and I am worried they are scared and have drifted into busy spots. I am hoping they will spot a familiar face and fly back toward Millennium Square, where I last saw them.

Lost CDs near Bristol Harbourside after gig

I was finishing a small gig at The Old Market Assembly and headed toward the M Shed on the Bristol Harbour waterfront around 6:15 p.m. last Friday when I realised my bag of CDs was missing. The discs are in a matte black case with a hand-drawn city skyline sticker and a coffee ring on the corner. They include a few unreleased demos and a live recording I cut last summer; they matter to me more than anything else. If you spotted a black CD case on the cobbles near the Harbourside steps, please let me know.
