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 Brighton 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 Brighton in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost hats in Brighton near i360

On Friday evening, about 8:45 p.m., I was along the Brighton seafront near the British Airways i360 and must have set my two knitted hats on a bench by the ticket booth. By the time I turned back, they were gone. I know someone could have picked them up, or they slipped into the crowd on the way to the pier. I really miss them; they were a gift from my grandmother and I feel anxious every time I remember.

LOST PRESCRIPTION SUNGLASSES – St Peter's Church / Youth Centre Area ​Hi everyone, hoping for a bit of Brighton magic!

Lost pocket watch in Brighton

I was wandering near Brighton Station around 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday when I realized my pocket watch had vanished from my pocket. It’s a silver-cased watch on a thin chain, with the initials JR engraved on the back and a small crack in the glass. The watch belonged to my late grandfather and carries more memory than value. I’d been looking along West Street and The Lanes as the crowds thinned, and I’m hoping it turned up somewhere nearby. If anyone finds it, please keep it safe and let the site know.

lost Xylophones in Brighton

Hi, I'm Jamie Collins, and I lost my Xylophones in Brighton. I was leaving the Brighton Dome after a children's music class around 7:30 PM on Monday, and I think they slipped out near the seafront by the Bandstand, outside the Dome on Church Street. The xylophones are wooden and color-coded, a pair with a small dent on the back and a sticker that says Playtime. I retraced my steps along Queen's Road and Church Street, but they did not turn up, and the xylophones were lost, which has me worried because they belonged to my niece's school project.

Adapters lost near Brighton Station.

I was rushing to catch the bus after a meetup at the local library and realized at 6:15 pm on Tuesday that my adapters weren’t in my bag. I retraced my steps from the station to the seafront, through the Lanes, and back toward the Brighton Dome, but they’re nowhere to be found. They’re a small gray USB-C set with a red trim and a tiny scratch on the metal plate. Losing them has left me scrambling for a replacement before my trip to London next week. If someone handed them in near the pier or at the station, I’d be endlessly grateful.
