A guitar, Neil Diamond CD and one lone trainer are just some of the weird items found on Megabus’ vehicles over the years.
During May, the Megabus lost property office was contacted about 469 pieces of lost property.
Among the forgotten items left on the buses, which run out of Bristol, last month were a guitar, numerous keys, car keys and wireless headphones along with Lego sets, a Winnie the Pooh, a jar of honey, an electric shaver, a historic coins, a stamp collection, a Radiohead vinyl, a Neil Diamond CD and a lone trainer. However, over the years the company’s lost property team have dealt with some weird and wonderful mislaid items, perhaps the strangest being three bales of hay.
Other highlights of the Megabus lost property office over the years have included a cooking wok, false teeth, family tree documents, lone shoes and socks, and even a whole frozen turkey.

However, 95% of the items reported were reunited with their owners.
Megabus receptionist Angela said: “Over many years of dealing with an eclectic mix of lost property items, our lost property team have almost become immune to weird and wonderful finds, but every now and again we still get something handed in that surprises us.
“The most important thing of course is to try and make sure we can reunite as many of the items as possible with their owners and we work hard to do that as we know how frustrating, and upsetting, it can be to lose something while travelling.”
While the vast majority of the Megabus lost property items are returned to their owners, those that are not are kept for 28 days and then often donated to charity where possible.
