I found that on the old OS 25 inch map, many towns had single line tramway systems with short loops and no signalling system.
Like Bolton https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=18&lat=53.5741&lon=-2.4383&layers=168&b=1
and Weston-super-Mare https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=17&lat=51.3483&lon=-2.9810&layers=168&b=1
So l always wanted to figure out how the single line tramway is work,in the days if l am the tram driver l only have to rely on visual to know if the single line section is clear? If a opposite tram at next loop want into the single line and my tram also want into the section, who owns the priority?
It seems the speed would be very slow by those single line tramway systems on the days, tram must stopped at every loop line.
