Prague, Czech Republic, Turnover rails are usually located between the track rails and serve primarily to turn or turn the train. Strašnická station is plus or minus one of the two stations with passing reversing rails in normal operation. According to the original plans, the A line had branched in two directions at this station, which did not happen in the end. The set just behind the station in the direction of Skalka turns left on the reversing tracks (there was a crossover built) and continues on Skalka. The two tracks that run directly cannot be used to store trains (or passenger trains respectively) because the metro trains are 100 meters, while the single tracks are 80 meters. Another attraction is the Skalka station, which was final until 2006. Due to the introduction of passenger transport to Depot Hostivař on the metro depot line, where speed and capacity is limited, during peak working days, half of the trains (every other) terminate at Skalka station. The turnaround is simple, the train in front of the station passes to the 2nd track and waits 3 minutes and goes back.
