Interlaced (gauntlet) & bi-directional single track.

I have seen the Croyden ones.

Part of that was due to embankment strengthening causing a width restriction in the Morden area.

Which I think is the bit shown here.

The same bi-directional rail exists in Prague Czech Republic in the tram network.

Thanks.

On Wikipedia Commons I've seen a photograph of interlaced track through a narrow road and arch at Malá Strana, Prague.

I'm going to add this to my website, as an excellent example of interlaced track.

In the USA interlaced track is called gauntlet track. We have a few places in the Chicago region that used this. One unfortunately resulted in a spectacular wreck that killed several people.

oh dear - but was it the fault of the track which caused this? or something else which just happened to be at this specific location?

Further to my other comment, I'd like to thank you for this information. I cannot alter the video as youtube do not allow this, but I am altering the video name and other information to include the word 'gauntlet'.

Interesting in the first shot how its not actually a point but 2 rails overlapping

[citytransportinfo]

Thats right.

In fact several different locations are shown where the track is interlaced like this.
