Lost a teddy bear in North Hampshire?
It's national teddy bear day and a local train company is hoping to reunite some lost cuddly toys with their owners
Last updated 9th Sep 2021
On National Teddy Bear Day (Thursday 9 September), South Western Railway (SWR) is hoping to reunite owners with lost teddy bears found on train seats and station floors across its network. This year SWR has received 19 (and counting) lost teddies at its lost property office in London Waterloo.
Some were found at Alton and Basingstoke.
As children return to school and need a bear by their side, images of the lost toys are being shared across social media to help SWR to reconnect them with their owners.
Claire Mann, Managing Director of South Western Railway said:
“We know that the teddies and toys left on our trains have a loving owner out there but have been sadly left behind on a train seat or dropped on the floor in the hurry of boarding or departing a train. We hope that the teddies featured in our campaign will be reunited with their owners, fixing broken hearts, and providing the perfect companion to look out the window with on their next adventure together!”
