I have never had a problem with this site.
I have registered my email address with this site, and haven't experience any kind of spam.

A Useful site for planning trains BUT don't enter your email unless you want a inbox full of spam.

Although the site is useful for travellers with this respected train operating company until they have sorted out the problem with spam I would not recommend leaving your email address. Recently I emailed SWT about my concerns and received this encouraging reply on 21 Sep 07.
"Dear Mr Bond,
Thank you for alerting us to the Spam emails that you have been receiving as a result of using our website. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience that this has caused and would like to reassure you that we are taking the matter very seriously.

forms in future. We are working on this and will have the matter
fixed as soon as possible.
As a measure to counteract the Spam you are receiving, we would recommend that you report the addresses to your email service provider whom can then take the necessary actions to prevent future Spam being delivered from these senders.
