Route Coverage

[37372]

Hi, I was wondering how many people on this forum are 'line bashers' and what you think of it. I know the route coverage map thread is busy and after a member of this forum told me that all line bashers are 'stoats' I just wondered how many of us do it...
I for one do

 

[Max]

I do bashing more than photting now because of a lack of a decent camera

I think its kind of good to say you've visited so many parts of the UK

 

[class 313]

I'm more of a photter than basher but come the 31st of march and I'll be bashing 37s around London

 

[Tom]

I wouldn't say that anyone on this forum is a line basher as such... well, except a few.

It's good just to keep track of where you have visited...

 

[tubenutter]

Im afraid I'll have to admit to this, as I'm embarrassed for how little coverage I actually have!

 

[class 313]

I have quite a lot of coverage considering how long ago I started... I never thought I would be going to York on a steamer two years ago

 

[Coxster]

Most of the lines I have covered have been as a result of forum meets over the past 3-4 years on TTF (when it was big before RailUK Mk1 opened) and on RailUK

I have to admit the amount of lines I've covered in the 2 years of line coverage is shocking to say I have a priv

 

[Gizmogle]

I'm quite happy with my coverage so far considering I started less than a year ago. I'm not a big line basher, but I will go out places to get coverage.

I used to be a massive line basher, but I've since changed priorities. Unit-only lines will be about for a long time yet, the HSTs however will not. So I'm focusing on the HSTs whilst they are still about!

All line bashers are stoats eh? I'd love to know who told you that...

I'll go back to line-bashing more when my favourite traction has gone. I'll still do bits of it here and there, but mainly on railtours so I can count new track as covered on Rateable Traction. Doing so on April 14th...

I think he is saying that teachers ask him for travel information.

Oh and as for who said "line bashers" are "stoats", well surely line bashing is only one small part of the hobby? And exploring the country is not something your average stoat has the ability or cash to do. No - they stick to the same location day in, day out!
