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 East Midlands 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 East Midlands in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

LOST: Chargers in East Midlands

I was leaving a café by Nottingham's Market Square around 6:10 p.m. last Monday when I realized my chargers were gone from my bag. The two cables matter to me—one green with a frayed end, the other black with a cracked USB-C tip. They’re not just wires; they’re how I stay connected during long study sessions in the East Midlands. If anyone finds them, I’d be grateful for this listing to help me get back to my routine.

Lost scarves near Old Market Square, Nottingham.

I lost my scarves somewhere in the East Midlands, specifically Nottingham's Old Market Square. They're a cream knitted scarf with a navy stripe and a matching wool hat. I last had them around 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday, after I stepped off the tram near the market stalls and tucked the scarf into my coat sleeve during a gust of wind. It felt like losing a bit of home—my grandmother gave me that scarf, and it kept me warm through many cold commutes. If anyone found them, please hang onto them; I'll swing by the kiosk near the Old Market Square to collect.

Black Samsonite carry-on with red tag

I lost my black Samsonite carry-on suitcase yesterday around 3pm near the tram stop by The Lace Market in Nottingham. It's a 55cm hard-shell with a few scuffs and a bright red luggage tag bearing my initials NR on the handle; there’s also a small tear on the bottom corner. Inside are clothes, a navy rain jacket, and a folded scarf that belonged to my grandmother—it’s the last keepsake I have from her, so it means a lot to me. I’m really hoping someone who picked it up in East Midlands, especially around that Lace Market area, can get it back to me.

White business card with mint-green accents

I lost my friend's business card yesterday around 3pm near the Market Square tram stop in Nottingham, East Midlands. It's a small white card with mint-green borders and a gold foil Aurora Studio logo at the top. The name on the card reads Samira Patel, with an email [email protected] and a contact number faintly written on the back. The card has a faint coffee stain in the bottom-right corner and a slightly bent edge from being in my coat pocket all week. I really need to get back in touch—we were coordinating a project, and that card has sentimental value because it belonged to a good friend.

Blue Nike running shoes, size 9

I lost my blue Nike running shoes yesterday around 3pm near the Old Market Square tram stop in Nottingham. They're size 9, blue with a white Nike swoosh and an orange heel tab, and they're in decent condition with light creasing. Left shoe has a coffee stain on the tongue and a tiny scuff on the toe; right shoe has a muddy streak along the sole. These have seen me through daily runs and a halfway marathon training plan, so they mean a lot and I’d really appreciate having them back.

Black Fossil bi-fold wallet with ID

I lost my black Fossil bi-fold wallet yesterday around 3pm outside Boots on Market Street in Nottingham, near Old Market Square. It's slim, well-worn, with the Fossil logo on the front and a small coffee stain along the back edge. Inside I have my driving license, two bank cards, and about £30, plus a laminated photo of my grandma and a tiny 'KP' monogram on the inner sleeve. It felt sentimental and I’d be really grateful to get it back—thanks for keeping an eye out.
