    Lost and Found

    The Passenger Support Office also works as a deposit for all the objects found on the trains and in the stations. If you have lost anything, you can phone in and we will make a search through our computer system to see if the object has been handed in and advise you immediately where you can collect it. Passengers will have to go to the Support Offices to collect the objects.

    If you find any object on the train or station you can hand it in at the station or give it to the ticket collector. All our employees have strict instructions about how to deal with lost property and how to ensure it gets to the Passenger Support Office as quickly as possible. If the Passenger Support Office is closed you can call us at the CP Call Centre – 808 208 208.
