Out of interest, what is special about this, why would
people want to see it and what is a trackbasher?

If you need to ask, you don't need to know!

That was friendly. A bit like the way Twitchers see Bird Watchers or vice
versa.

LOL
Just a little elitist

Trackbasher - From http://www.geocities.com/nrc36/bp/tspot.htm

"'Trackbashers' are a strange and dedicated breed whose aim is to travel
over every inch of track on the railway system, including loops, points,
sidings and crossovers."

Thus the section known as Primrose Hill 'curve' is little used and therefore
has to be 'bashed'.

OK.

The only interesting thing I've managed to do was the reverse at Bethnal
Green when they were running test trains after Chancery Lane last year.
I found it quite exciting (apart from the running through the train bit)
so I can see the attraction. Sadly, I didn't get to walk to the points,
which I'd really have enjoyed...
