Southeastern serves Kent, East Sussex and south-east London from London Charing Cross, Cannon Street and Victoria, and runs the high-speed services from St Pancras International.
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 Southeastern 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 Southeastern services
Southeastern has several London terminals and two kinds of route: the suburban and mainline services, and the high-speed trains. The live board shows which platform each leaves from, and the alarm before your stop means you can read or doze on the longer journeys to the Kent coast.
- 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.
Rail replacement buses are shown as BUS in place of a platform, so a missing platform is never a mystery.
Delay Repay on Southeastern
Delay Repay is run by each train company, so the rules and the claim form are on Southeastern’s own site: Southeastern 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.
