Lost property

If you’ve left a valuable item (such as a wallet, passport, handbag, phone or medication) on a tram in the last 30 minutes, we can try to locate it by contacting the driver.

Message us on Facebook or tweet us @yarratrams with a description of the item and the tram number.

Phone the depot for the route you were travelling on and leave details on our dedicated lost property message service.

Provide as much information as possible, including: the route number, tram number, time the item was left on board, the destination the tram was heading to and the location. And be sure to include a detailed description of the item and your phone number.

Note: The depot will only call you back if the item has been handed in. If you don’t receive a call within 48 hours, unfortunately we haven’t been able to locate your item.

Lost property is held securely at depots and can be collected during business hours. You must collect your items within three months.

When items are lost at tram stops, we rely on the general public to hand them in.  We recommend you contact the closest Police Station in case your item has been handed in.  Contact details can be found here.

In rare cases, items are handed to tram drivers.  You may wish to contact the relevant depot.  Please note the depot will only call you inf the item is found. 

If you find an item on board a tram or at a tram stop, please give it to a Yarra Trams employee or hand it in at the nearest police station.

To help us reunite the found item with its owner, provide the Yarra Trams employee or the police with as much information as possible, including: the route number, tram number, time the item was found, the destination  the tram was heading to, and the location.
