The town of Liberec has an interesting dual gauge system
which was up til recently all narrow (1000mm) gauge. In the process of
modernizing the system they are regauging to standard (1435mm) gauge.
You can look at this map for reference: Liberec Tram Map
(Official). The tram network's lines are in red. (It's not a
very big tram system.) The #2 tram from Horni Hanychov (cut back to
Dolni Hanychov for construction when I was there, shows on the map as
dotted line) through the downtown to Lidove Sady is standard 1435mm
gauge. They have one preserved tram in wide gauge which we rode out to
the Lidove Sady terminal. The 5 and 11 lines from Viadukt out the
Jablonec interurban line is narrow 1000mm gauge. Some construction has
started along this line to prepare it for wide gauge conversion. The
tracks between Viadukt and Fugnerova are dual gauge, including the
access to the depot which is down a side street approximately near the
Rybnicek stop on all 3 lines. Access to the depot is dual; some of
the depot tracks are dual, some are standard only. (Don't remember
seeing any narrow-only but there might have been some.) We got a full
tour of the depot, as well.
