URGENT left something at Marble Arch bus stop

Can someone help me this morning?
I have left a cardboard tube with some important posters at the bus stop in Marble Arch just now.

My friend was taken to hospital urgently last night & I am sleep deprived & left it there when I got on the bus about 40 minutes ago.

The posters are for my friend who is ill with cancer. It was my job to get them for him.

Could someone help me if they are passing now, please?

I am happy to pay a reward.

@Thoosa

Bump.

I can’t imagine them doing a controlled explosion on a poster tube.🤞🏻

Do you live in London 🤔

@WeaverofWords
Very glad it worked out for you and your friend!
I too ( As a Londoner ) realise the potential risks of unattended packages , especially at Transport hubs- Very glad the posters were safe.
Hope your friend will be OK too.
🙂

@WeaverofWords

Thank you so much! I still don’t believe it!

The Oxford Tube driver (2nd bus) said as I got off that she did call through after I told her but that she was told there was nothing there - they must have looked in wrong place.

Also they drivers were standing here looking over & we all had a laugh together over it.

I think I need a lie down. Exhausted!
Thanks again Flowers

Isn’t it lovely when it works out- You must have been so relieved to see them there.

Very kind too of the Oxford Tube driver to make a call on your behalf🙂

Thank you, @oakleaffy I agree - potential risk of unattended packages. There were a couple of chaps working for TfL who had kept an eye on it. One of them laughed with me at my relief 😁

Yes yes 🌟 for the Oxford Tube. The lovely driver went out of her way to call for me, and the remarkable efficiency of stepping off one bus and having the other one already there in the other direction to take me back in 🙂 Fabulous bus link, great drivers.

We are still talking about it now! 🙏

Meant to add - the efficiency of those buses is evident by the timings of my posts!
