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...

Kat Me, Ambivalent? Well, yes and no.


HST - Redruth to Bristol TM via Exeter St Davids and Yeovil Pen Mill was
fun - everyone twitched when we left Exeter "the wrong way".

I got a major crick in the neck trying to see where we were going in the
dark.
