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 Newcastle 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 Newcastle in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

lost drones near Newcastle city centre

Hi, I'm Oliver Bennett. Yesterday around 6:20 p.m., I think I dropped my drones near Grey Street, by Grey's Monument, not far from Newcastle Central Station. They're in a black hard-shell case with a red strap and a spare battery pack clipped to the side. The memory card inside has family-trip footage, and losing them feels oddly personal—the city already looked different in the fading light, and I miss that view.

Lost bus tickets in Newcastle.

Early this morning at about 8:25, I realized my bus tickets to Edinburgh were missing from my bag as I stood outside Newcastle Central Station. I’d tucked them into my coat pocket after buying a coffee near the station concourse around 7:50, but by the time I reached the Haymarket bus stop they were gone. I’m anxious because they were my only reminder of a weekend trip with my dad, and I’d hate to cancel the plan. If you found a crumpled set of bus tickets around the Central Station precinct or on Percy Street, I’d be grateful to have them back.

Lost handheld console near Grainger Market

On Tuesday around 4:40 PM, I realized my handheld console was missing after I left the Grainger Market area in Newcastle. It’s a small black device with a sharp screen and a blue protective case that I’ve dragged across the country during college days. I retraced my steps along Grey Street toward Newcastle Central Station, but there was no sign of it. I can’t shake the worry that someone may have picked it up, but I still hold onto a glimmer of hope that it’s waiting to be found. If this sounds like yours, I’d be grateful for any help reuniting us, through the site.

lost brooches near Grainger Market, Newcastle

I’m Charlotte Davies. I lost a small pair of gold-tone brooches, one shaped like a leaf and the other a tiny acorn, that have sat on my coat for years, a link to my grandmother. I last wore them Friday around 11:15 am after browsing stalls near the Grainger Market in Newcastle and grabbing a coffee on Grey Street. I must have dropped them on a bench or left them on a display shelf while I checked my map. They’re more than trinkets to me; they’re a link to her, and I’d be grateful to get them back.
