Under 'General Services Info': it's open from 0800 to 2030

-Deleted- Wrong info.

 

[YorkshireRider]

Its open 0800 - 2030, you may have to pay to get it back however

 

[ainsworth74]

I saw that as well, but I don't think that's lost property, rather a facility for leaving luggage in the station.

 

[YorkshireRider]

In Leeds and Kings X, left luggage and lost property are the same outlet but if its not the case at York then ignore my post

it was found by the guard and taken to York

Odd, but NR are showing that York Lost Property is at Newark North Gate
It is held at York for 48 hours, then moved there
I therefore suggest you contact 08457225333 before travelling to establish where it is

Both are open :
Monday - Friday
09:00 - 16:00

Newark North Gate hold Lost Property for three months

The Left Luggage is not the same as lost property, at least at York. It is run by a private company so they will not have the phone. As rail-britain says, all EC lost property goes to Newark after a certain time.

Its not EC that has it its Transpennie express.

My wife has called them but she does not really understand what they said but she told me its at York but we dont know where to go at York or opening times for Saturday.

I had left it on a TPE Train and the guard took it back to York.

Im not at home so cant find out from the wife not thats she much help!!!!

I want and need to go to york sat to pick it up.

Edit to the Above

I have just got home and the wife has told me that yes its at york and she was told that we could pick it up between 7am-10pm sat and given this number 0845 0593610 was she says was Lost Property but im not sure i have to say.

She said that she kept asking him and thats what he kept telling her.

I dont know what to think now.

Be warned that thee may well be a charge to collect it. I left my mobile on a Southampton Central-bound XC service when alighting at New Street. Whilst it did indeed end up at Southampton, since XC don't manage any stations SWT then decided to send it to Waterloo which was the only option given for collection. SWT charged me £10 to collect the phone and I was told taht this fee was industry practice amongst TOCs to cover admin costs.

From the locked thread it seems you definately know the phone is at York, if so then it will be in the Customer Services Centre (or something like that) which is on the main concourse next to Hertz rent a car and the ladies toilets. As its not a private lost property place then there won't be a charge (I dont think East Coast have sunk to that yet)

Don't.

Thameslink was charging for the return of Lost Property since before '98'. It wouldn't suprise me if other TOCs did too.

 

[Anvil1984]

Yeah I know other TOCs tend to, but I dont think there are any formal facilities to charge there as its not an actual lost property place just part of the station management centre as we know it. I'll ask the staff next time im on shift but i dont think they do at York

I'm sure Lost Property was charged for in BR days - not huge amounts, maybe £1-2 per item?

 

[northernrail2009]

Just a update

Went to York and picked it up and no cost as well so Thankyou for the Great staff of East Cost Trains for looking after it overnight for me.

Glad to hear it all worked out in the end
