Summary

BTF synopsis: Day in, day out, throughout the year, the passengers on London’s buses and Underground leave behind them enough property to keep a large staff of sorters and storemen permanently busy and often amused. How the lost property is collected, sorted, warehoused and, in most cases, restored to its forgetful owners is shown in this film which reveals an unusual aspect of London Transport’s service to the travelling public.
