What FleetWatch does on Greater Anglia services
Between Liverpool Street and Essex or Suffolk, the live board shows delays and the reason behind them in plain English. For the airport run, tracking shows where your train is between stations rather than leaving you to guess.
- 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 with a change are planned as one: a trip from Norwich to Cambridge, say, reads as one journey rather than two searches.
Delay Repay on Greater Anglia
Delay Repay is run by each train company, so the rules and the claim form are on Greater Anglia’s own site: Greater Anglia 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.
