What FleetWatch does on Chiltern Railways services
Marylebone is a terminal with a short list of departures, so the live board shows at a glance which train goes next and from which platform. Journey alerts tell you about a cancellation or platform change on the train you watch, even with the app closed.
- Live departure boards with platforms, delays and the reason behind them in plain English.
- Door-to-door journeys with a change included, so a two-leg trip reads as one journey rather than two searches, even where the second train is another company’s.
- Board and track. Tell FleetWatch you’re on the train and it follows the service from the live timetable, then sounds an alarm with a vibration before your stop.
- Journey alerts for the trains you watch: a notification when one is cancelled, late or changes platform, even with the app closed.
- Smart Routes suggest a way round a problem on your usual line. Tube connections come from Transport for London, so they exist in London only.
FleetWatch plans journeys that change from Chiltern onto the Underground or another train company as one trip.

FleetWatch checks your arrival against the operator’s rules, tells you when a journey qualifies, prepares the details and reminds you before the deadline. The claim itself is yours to send.
