What FleetWatch does on East Midlands Railway services
On the Midland Main Line the live board shows which platform your train leaves from and whether it is running late, and the alarm before your stop helps on the longer runs to Sheffield and Nottingham.
- 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.
Journeys that change at Derby, Leicester or Nottingham are planned as one trip, with the connection included.
Delay Repay on East Midlands Railway
Delay Repay is run by each train company, so the rules and the claim form are on East Midlands Railway’s own site: East Midlands Railway Delay Repay. 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.
