Southeastern today launched a new official Southeastern Twitter feed and a ‘line of route’ iPhone App, both providing passengers with live train running information on the move.
The new Twitter feed gives passengers an easy way of accessing live running information for all Southeastern services currently available on the website.
Southeastern’s App for iPhones ‘compliments the line of route website tool’ launched at the end of last year.
It gives an ‘immediate impression of the status of all Southeastern lines of route’, with each of the 12 lines showing either Good Service, Minor Disruption or Major Disruption.
In ‘extreme cases’ the status could also be Part-suspended or No Service. Travellers can also see details of individual trains and if it is on time, delayed, cancelled or alterations.
Southeastern spokesperson said:
“One of our priorities is to find ways to provide information to our passengers when and where they want and need it. The launch of Twitter and the iPhone App is another step towards that.
“Running more than 2000 trains a day over a complex rail network means providing up to the minute information during times of disruption can be challenging. So we hope passengers find these new tools useful.”
