Virgin Trains customer service executive director Steve Tennant said: "This new service is a really simple, reassuring solution, which we hope will reassure our customers that their belongings are safeguarded if they are accidentally left behind.
"HomingPIN is a fantastic contribution towards returning items, which have been misplaced or left on our trains and part of our approach to put the customer first."
As part of its trail launch, up to one thousand Virgin Trains’ customers will receive a unique PIN code to register on the secure website, HomingPIN.com, together with a phone number and an email address.
Virgin will provide customers with a luggage loop, key ring and a set of labels, each with their unique code printed on. These can be attached to their possessions in order to identify the belongings.
