Can you write a definition for this? Possibly there are multiple definitions. DTLHS (talk) 22:01, 1 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Your suspicions are right. A more common form, in my experience, is . Wikipedia has, two near me are the and , another is the ; the Hounslow and Hertford loops are secondary routes that leave a main line and then rejoin it a few miles later, the Kingston loop leaves one main line and joins another main line, so that trains out of London Waterloo run round the loop and return to Waterloo; trains on the Hounslow loop can also do that via a triangular junction at the outer end. I have no idea what form the looplines in the quotes take. DonnanZ (talk) 23:23, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I have created and included two definitions that I know about. Further definitions can be added there, and if you're agreeable  can be converted to an alternative form. The quotations can stay there in any case. DonnanZ (talk) 19:50, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
