Lost and Found Phone on the DLR
Earlier today, while I was on my way to London City Airport for a flight, I realized I’d left my phone on the seat as soon as my AirPods disconnected after getting off the DLR. In a panic, I rushed to the information desk and explained what happened, including the train I was on and where I had been sitting.
The staff member promptly made a few calls, and within just 15 minutes, a TfL employee arrived at the information desk with my phone in hand. I can only assume they checked the train at its next stop.
I’m incredibly grateful for the swift action taken by the TfL team—they truly saved me from a lot of stress!
Now that I’m sitting on the plane, I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation and share this rare success story of a lost phone recovery!

Your experience highlights the importance of both quick communication and a dedicated transport team. I also wonder if there are any specific best practices for passengers to follow when they realize they’ve lost something on public transport. For instance, keeping a record of the train number and time of travel can help expedite the recovery process. Additionally, utilizing apps to track devices can provide an extra layer of security. Thank you for sharing your positive encounter—it’s a fantastic reminder of the diligent work that public transport staff do every day! Safe travels!
