LUGGAGE ONBOARD FAQs
Our Customer Experience Ambassadors will be visible across the train throughout your journey. If they notice any lost property, they will proactively seek to identify their owner and reconcile them with it. However, if they haven’t managed to do so before you left our train, your property will be handed in at the train’s final destination station, at either London King’s Cross or Edinburgh Waverley. If the train is terminated short of its final destination, we may also hand this in at the terminating station.
If you lose an item, please use this table to identify where your property is likely to be and contact them directly.
