Help,urgent..train Penzance to Edinburgh

[Hedjwitch]

Is anyone on, or have friends travelling on the 11.15 from Penzance to Edinburgh just now? My son has left his back pack on the train when he got off at Birmingham New Street. A black backpack containing all his stuff! Carriage F5. Can't get any answer on the phone at Lost Property and he has registered on line. Long shot but....please!

Bumping for you, to keep active, fingers crossed OP!

Can you tweet the train company?

bump

Contact the train company, Lost Property at B’Ham is no good as it’s still on the train.

Yes, contact the train company and see if they can contact one of the staff on the train to look for it right away - they in turn might be glad to know it isn't a 'suspect package'.

I did that once - the station staff phoned the train guard - and left it at the next station stop for me

helpful if he knows where on the train

Contact the train company direct on social media

Trying. Said they can't contact the train staff directly. I said its going to look like a suspicious package but they won't help.

Sorry Op, I didn’t mean to vote! Bumping for you, and keeping everything crossed your son gets his bag back.

Try the station at the end of the line - they can check when the train arrives there. We did this and they sent it back with the driver on the return train and we picked it up at our station! It was a weekend as well and the bag had his revision notes jn 😳

This happened to my son and the train staff were amazing and organised for it to travel back. If you can’t get through to Birmingham try Edinburgh and all the stops in between.

I can't get any answer from Edinburgh. Worried it looks like a suspicious package so have alerted transport police

Finally got a human...a lovely lady at East Midlands who is going to get station staff at Sheffield to hop on and look for it and give it to train staff for safe keeping. ( take nore up helpful lady at Birmingham!). His tracker says its still on the train so fingers crossed nobody nicks it between times. I will murder DS when I get hold of him!!

Fingers crossed you get it back!

Please update us, OP!

Any luck?

No news.

Tracker showing its still on the train

When will it arrive at Sheffield

Its done Sheffield and now not far from Edinburgh so I can only hope someone secured it at Sheffield as promised. I wish they would let me know...

My nephew left his bag on the train a couple of weeks ago and it also ended up in Sheffield because it was the last station. He had to go to Sheffield to collect it.

Hope he gets it back.

If the tracker shows it still on the train then seems the workers didn’t find it. Edinburgh station is your best bet.

I wish someone would answer at Edinburgh.

Hope someone gets back to you op
