ScotRail runs most of Scotland’s train services, from the Edinburgh and Glasgow commuter lines to the routes to Aberdeen and Inverness and the West Highland lines.
FleetWatch is an Android app for people who take the same trains most days. It shows live departures for any station in the UK, so ScotRail trains sit alongside everyone else’s, and it plans the whole trip door to door. It doesn’t sell tickets. It’s for everything that happens after you’ve got one.

What FleetWatch does on ScotRail services
Between Edinburgh and Glasgow the live board shows which platform and which route your train takes, and on the longer Highland lines tracking shows where the train is between stations when there is little to see from the window.
- 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.
Tube connections come from Transport for London, so they exist in London only. The Glasgow Subway and Edinburgh trams are not part of a planned journey.
Delay Repay on ScotRail
Delay Repay is run by each train company, so the rules and the claim form are on ScotRail’s own site: ScotRail 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.
