      Im assuming this is for double non reversible tracks? Bevause I’ve definitely been places where there are trains driving on the right or reversible tracks that mean the trains go both ways regardless of side

      The trains run left-hand traffic in Sweden, France, Italy, and Portugal mainly for historical reasons, as the first locomotives and systems were built with the British model, where the drivers stood to the left, making it natural to drive on the left side. A shift to right-hand traffic on the railways would be extremely costly, and since there is not a large safety gain to be gained in a closed system, no reform has been implemented.

      France has two systems actually. After 1871, Germany converted the railways in Alsace to right-hand. When France got it back in 1918 they didn’t bother converting the rails back to left-hand.

      One exception is the Madrid Metro runs on the left.
      When the Metro first opened, Spain had not yet standardized which side of the street cars drove on, and it was on the left in Madrid.

      Also cars drove on the left side of the road until the 1960s or something in Sweden
