Personal timeline
Many accounts asserted that the universe was comprised of many timelines; therefore, individuals had their own personal timelines, (TV: The Runaway Bride [+]Loading...["The Runaway Bride (TV story)"], AUDIO: The Dead Shoes [+]Loading...["The Dead Shoes (audio story)"]) or relative timelines, (PROSE: TARDIS Type 40 Instruction Manual [+]Loading...["TARDIS Type 40 Instruction Manual (reference book)"]) as did planets and species. (PROSE: Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe [+]Loading...["Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe (short story)"])
Accounts were often inconsistent on whether or not an individual's personal timeline could be altered by themself.

As Tasha Lem explained to the Eleventh Doctor, the Kovarian Chapter travelled back along his timeline in an ultimately vain attempt to prevent him from reaching Trenzalore. (TV: The Time of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Time of the Doctor (TV story)"]) Missy told the Twelfth Doctor that she had been "up and down his timeline", meeting people who had died for him.

(TV: The Name of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Name of the Doctor (TV story)"])
The Ninth Doctor explained to Rose Tyler that he could not go back and warn humanity of a Dalek invasion because once the TARDIS landed he became part of events, "stuck in the timeline". Soon after, he apparently realised that he could indeed "cross [his] own timeline", however, this was but a ruse to get Rose into the TARDIS to safety. (TV: The Parting of the Ways) Similarly, the Tenth Doctor told Wilfred Mott that he could not go back in time and catch the Saxon Master yesterday as he could not go back within "[his] own timeline", that he had to stay relative to the Master within the causal nexus. (TV: The End of Time)
Alistair Gryffen's timeline
When Taphony, a Time Blank, artifically accelerated Professor Alistair Gryffen's physical age, she had caused a major disruption in his timeline, which would only stop if Taphony was removed from the space-time continuum prior to his birthday, at which point the condition would become permanent. Ultimately, the disruption caused by Taphony was negated when she agreed to depart to another time continuum through the Space-Time Manipulator, reversing time to just prior to her arrival at Gryffen Manor. (TV: Taphony and the Time Loop [+]Loading...["Taphony and the Time Loop (TV story)"])
Jack Harkness's timeline
In 1901, having been buried alive since 27, Jack Harkness told Torchwood Cardiff operatives Alice Guppy and Charles Gaskell that, as he had crossed his own timeline by being brought back in time to this point by John Hart, he could not be allowed to meet his past self, so he requested to be cryofrozen for the next hundred and seven years. (TV: Exit Wounds [+]Loading...["Exit Wounds (TV story)"])
Revealing to the Tenth Doctor that he had went to see Rose at the Powell Estate before she had met him, Jack cited "timelines and all that" as he clarified that he did not approach her. (TV: Utopia [+]Loading...["Utopia (TV story)"])
Adolf Hitler's timeline
After the Justice Department vehicle Teselcta travelled through time to punish Adolf Hitler, Jim reported that they were too early as they were in 1938 and so needed to go later in his time stream. The Teselecta was crashed into by the Eleventh Doctor's TARDIS before this could be done. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler [+]Loading...["Let's Kill Hitler (TV story)"])

Discovering the presence of Thijarians in 1947 Punjab, the Thirteenth Doctor abandoned her mantra of not interfering to ensure that nothing would happen to Umbreen so that Yasmin Khan's timeline wouldn't be erased. (TV: Demons of the Punjab [+]Loading...["Demons of the Punjab (TV story)"])
The Master's timeline
Missy explained to the Saxon Master that the two of them coming into contact "put the timelines out of sync". As a result, the Master would not retain his memory of the event and so Missy would not remember having met herself. However, Missy did evidently remember enough to keep a spare dematerialisation circuit, (TV: The Doctor Falls [+]Loading...["The Doctor Falls (TV story)"]) and her theory was disputed by yet other accounts.

Dalek Caan manipulated it to ensure that she would reunite with the Tenth Doctor and bring about the downfall of the New Dalek Empire (TV: Journey's End [+]Loading...["Journey's End (TV story)"], etc.) and the Time Beetle altered it to feed off the time energy caused by the disruption, (PROSE: The Time Traveller's Almanac [+]Loading...{"chaptname":"Everything Changes","page":"132","chaptnum":"3","1":"The Time Traveller's Almanac (reference book)"}, TV: Turn Left [+]Loading...["Turn Left (TV story)"]) resulting in the creation of a parallel world.

Clara Oswald's timeline
The Twelfth Doctor once attempted to prove his theory that everyone's shared dream kf waking up in the middle of the night to be grabbed by an unseen hand was a genuine phenomenon, he had Clara Oswald place her fingers into the telepathic circuits so that the TARDIS could extrapolate her entire timeline so that the memory of her own nightmare could guide them to the event itself. Later, due to Danny Pink bsing a part of her timeline, the traces left in the telepathic circuits led the Doctor to Orson Pink, a time traveller from Clara's future. (TV: Listen [+]Loading...["Listen (TV story)"])
After the death of Danny, the Doctor induced a dream state around Clara to see how far she'd be willing to go to convince the Doctor to rewrite time; in this state, he refused to, stating that her timeline would disintegrate under the paradox loop. However, after the dream state ended, the Doctor did attempt to save Danny by instead searching for any sort of afterlife he could be in. Clara connected herself to the telepathic circuits again, and TARDIS brought them to the 3W Institute, as it was where Clara's timeline had a high chance of intersecting with Danny's. (TV: Dark Water [+]Loading...["Dark Water (TV story)"])
When Clara was extracted from the end of her time stream by the extraction chamber, mere moments before her death, the Doctor and Clara fled Gallifrey. In a stolen TARDIS, the Doctor asked Clara to check her pulse, hoping her timeline had restarted. (TV: Hell Bent [+]Loading...["Hell Bent (TV story)"])

Danny Pink's timeline
