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 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.

UK passport, burgundy cover, near Central Station

I lost my UK passport yesterday around 3pm. It's a burgundy biometric passport with the gold crest on the cover, plus a small crease on the bottom-right corner and a faint pencil mark 'A12' on the inside back page. I think I had it near Eldon Square outside the Central Station entrance on Northumberland Street in Newcastle. I’m due to travel in two weeks for work, so I’m really worried and would be grateful to get it back. It means a lot to me because it’s travelled with me on many trips.

Gold Fossil watch with LB engraving

I lost my gold-toned Fossil watch yesterday around 3pm near the Grainger Market on Market Street, Newcastle upon Tyne. It's a 40mm gold-tone stainless steel bracelet watch, and there's a noticeable scratch on the bezel plus a tiny engraving on the back that reads 'LB'. It was a gift from my mum, so it has sentimental value and I really need it back. If anyone found it, I’d be grateful to hear from you and can arrange a meetup near the market.

Blue reflective dog harness with Milo ID tag

Hey Newcastle crew, I lost my blue reflective dog harness yesterday around 3pm near the Grainger Market entrance on Grainger Street, just off Northumberland Street. It's a nylon harness, size medium, bright blue with lime-green stitching, and one strap has a tiny paw-print pattern. There's an orange ID tag on it that says 'Milo' and has my number on the back. This harness means a lot to me—Milo is really anxious without it, and I miss our quick walks. If anyone found it, please text me or drop it at the Central Station Lost & Found; I’d be so grateful to get it back.
