A couple of years back my Daughter and her boyfriend managed to leave a bag full of Christmas presents on an EMR MML service from St Pancras to Sheffield. We picked them up at Chesterfield station and set off for home. When we were back at the house my Daughter asks where are the presents we realise that they’re not here.
She got in touch with EMR eventually getting to speak to someone in lost property. They were able to work out that the train was now en route back to St Pancras, they called the crew on board and had them go check where they’d been sat on the way north. The bag of presents was still there in the luggage space between two seats. Seems they’d put the bag of presents there and then pushed a suitcase in afterwards. This pushed the presents further in and they’d thought the other had got it when they got off the train.
The crew onboard went searching and retrieved the bag of presents, took it to the train manager’s area and kept it there. They told the lost property person where it was. They called my Daughter and said we can collect it off of the Train Manager either at Derby or Chesterfield later that evening, when the set was on its way north again. Alternatively it could go into Lost Property at Derby and we could collect from there whenever we wanted. We decided to collect off of the train at Chesterfield. We were told where to stand and who to ask for. When the train arrived the introductions were made and the bag of presents was handed over with a smile. Nothing was missing and a good Christmas was had by all.
