If we find any item of lost property left on our trains or stations we will always do our best to contact the owner, where they can be identified.

If you lose an item of property on one of our services, please contact our Customer Relations team. If we find your lost property it will be kept ‘on hand’ at that station for ease of retrieval.

After 24 hours, the property will be moved to the nearer of either Euston or Birmingham New Street stations, where it will be stored for 3 months and from where you will be able to collect it.

Penalty fares note

We take fraudulent travel very seriously and are continuously working to reduce the opportunity for travelling on any of our services without a ticket. To this end, Penalty Fares Schemes operate on the majority of London Midland routes and services. Special ticket checks will take place from time to time at all our stations and if you do not have a valid ticket you may well be delayed or delay others. When travelling with London Midland, you must carry a valid ticket for the class of travel required (and valid railcard if appropriate) for your entire journey. If a station does not have a ticket office, the ticket office is closed or this facility is unavailable, a ticket can be purchased from the self-service ticket machine(s) at the station. If the ticket you require is not available from the self-service ticket machine(s), then a ‘Permit to Travel’ should be purchased from the machine at the station. Failure to purchase a valid ticket for your entire journey may leave you liable to pay a Penalty Fare of £20 or twice the appropriate full single fare to the next station stop, whichever is the greater. If a disabled passenger is unable to obtain a ticket from the facilities available on a station, a ticket can be issued on the train (including Disabled Railcard discounts as appropriate) irrespective of whether the journey is within a penalty fares zone.

Onboard facilities

Cycle policy
Yes
Note

London Midland welcomes cycles on its services and conveys them free of charge, provided it is safe to do so.

However, we are unable to accommodate cycles at our busiest times on trains arriving in London Euston between 07.00 and 09.59 and departing from London Euston between 16.00 and 18.59 on Mondays to Fridays (excluding Bank Holidays).

Cycles must be removed from our designated wheelchair spaces if a passenger using a wheelchair wishes to use them.

Folding bicycles can be taken on our trains at any time, provided they are folded down, but tandems and three-wheeled vehicles cannot be accommodated on any London Midland services.

We are continuously working with Local Authorities and Network Rail to increase the number of cycle-friendly schemes at our stations and to increase the number of locations with secure cycle storage facilities.
