William Huskisson MP^▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

Same lost property company as at most Notwork Rail stations.
Cant see why NR^» cant let the TOCs^▸ do it themselves...... ah yes revenue.

I do not work for FGW^▸ and posts should not be assumed and do not imply they are statements, unless explicitly stated that they are, from any TOC^▸ including First Great Western.

I will say one thing in defence of NR^» 's lost property arrangements. Finger crossed, I've only ever left two things on trains (a coat and a hoodie). One was an FGW^▸ service to Paddington, and I was reunited with my lost item later the same day. Admittedly it cost GBP 3.00, but that was considerably cheaper than buying a replacement given that it was my own fault that I forgot about it.

The second item was left on an XC^▸ service that terminated at Paignton, and after a few days of being passed from pillar to post ("FGW might have it, call them", "maybe it hasn't been logged yet", "oh, I see, FGW don't have it, well maybe it's ended up in Leeds/Birmingham/Edinburgh - we don't actually have any lost property office of our own" and so on) I just gave up!

Just don't leave anything on the sleeper up to Pad - you'll never see it again
