Welcome to the South West Trains JourneyCheck Alerts service.
This service offers the ability to register for the automatic provision of train service disruption information via email. The information supplied comes directly from staff in the in the Wessex Integrated Control Centre after the train starts its journey with data automatically recorded by any available movement of the train along the track.
This service is being provided by Stagecoach South Western Trains Limited and was developed by Nexus Alpha Limited. This service is subject to the following terms and conditions. Stagecoach South Western Trains Limited recommends the customer read these terms carefully prior to confirming acceptance.
Although Stagecoach South Western Trains Limited will take considerable effort to ensure that the service we provide to the customer is of good quality, there may be difficulties that can affect the service. Neither Stagecoach South Western Trains Limited or Nexus Alpha Limited provide any warranty or accept any liability whatsoever for any loss or damage from: defects that may exist to the service and the website, omissions or errors, reliance on the service resulting from delays, service interruptions, inaccurate alerts, the customer's inability or failure to use the service, or suspension or withdrawal of any part of the service.

Liability is hereby disclaimed to the fullest extent permitted by law.
The very nature of train service disruption information means that it can take time for network and service problems to be reported back to the Service Delivery Centre, who then enter the information into the JourneyCheck Alerts system. Also, the nature of service disruption means that on occasion it can change quite rapidly. Disruption information is by nature an imprecise process, as the future is predicted from the present position:
- Incidents can take longer to resolve than initially expected
- delays can become more severe
- cancelled services may be reinstated
The JourneyCheck Alerts service provides an "as is" snapshot of the reported state of the network in the context of the journey defined by the customer at the time the customer has registered to be alerted.
Stagecoach South Western Trains Limited and Nexus Alpha Limited reserve the right to terminate a subscription to this service at their discretion.

The image contains a combinations of letters selected only from the 26 letters of the English alphabet, and can be mixed case. There are no numbers.
The letters displayed in the image may or may not read as a real word. You must simply reproduce the letters in the text box below the image as you read them.
The purpose of insisting on this part of the registration process is to prevent computers registering multiple users automatically for malicious reasons. Sadly this is a common problem for websites these days and this is one of the few methods available to circumvent these systems.
The letters are purposefully (and randomly) irregular to make it difficult for them to be read by a computer. This may mean that on occasions the image is ambiguous even to the human eye.
