Kittens, false teeth and horse masks have all been left behind on trains in Scotland.
According to Scotland’s rail provider, ScotRail, passengers regularly fail to follow advice and leave personal items behind.
Hundreds of items each month are handed into the central lost property office in Glasgow’s Queen Street station, including phones, wallets, and high-value season tickets — but many are never claimed.
To encourage people to collect lost items, and not leave them behind in the first place, the group has released a list of what it believes to be the 10 strangest lost items.
Predictably, rail season passes and mobile phones have been left by passengers in their masses.
Pairs of glasses and sets of car keys have also been left.
More bizarrely, fancy dress items, including a horse head, and false teeth were left by commuters.
However, perhaps most oddly, one passenger left two kittens on board.
The pets were then handed over to the SSPCA.
ScotRail Alliance communications director Rob Shorthouse said: “While it’s always great when we can reunite lost property with its rightful owner, it’s much better for the customer not to lose it in the first place.
“As much as we’ve enjoyed compiling this list, we’re asking customers to spare a couple of seconds, and look before they leave.”
