Lost Property

Our central lost property database helps us to track and relocate any belongings you may have lost or left behind.

As our lost property tracking system requires a lot of upkeep, in addition to the cost of reuniting your items, we charge customers a small fee when items are reclaimed.

If you have lost or left an item behind, contact our Lost Property Team by filling in our lost property form.

Multirides & Season tickets

If you’re an existing multiride or season ticket holder and you’ve been impacted by the temporary suspension of our services, please visit our coronavirus FAQ page for more information on extending the validity of your pass or to claim a pro-rata refund.

• Season tickets - A National Express Season Ticket gives you a reserved seat on your daily commute. It's a great way to save some money when you make the same journey more than three or four times a week. Simply choose the two locations you travel between most, purchase a Season ticket, choose from 1 month to 1 year validity, and get unlimited travel in both directions.
• Multiride tickets - A National Express Multiride Ticket offers 10 single journeys cheaper than buying them individually, between your two locations, and is valid for 3 months.

For more information on both multiride and season tickets, please visit our tickets page.
