A '''time track''' was a path through time. "Jumping" a time track could place a [[time travel]]ler off their intended destination in time. They could even cross the lines of their own destiny. | A '''time track''' was a path through time. "Jumping" a time track could place a [[time travel]]ler off their intended destination in time.

Crossing time tracks created [[recursion]]s that had unpredictable effects. Time tracks behaved differently in different universes. Travel to a [[parallel universe]] was not possible as the time tracks didn't meet. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Renaissance of the Daleks]]'') | |||
The [[First Doctor]] and [[Susan Foreman]] visited the [[fourth universe]] in which time tracks did not run parallel as in [[N-Space]]. Here, time tracks crossed over each other. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Quinnis (audio story)|Quinnis]]'') | |||

The [[First Doctor]] jumped a time track in [[the TARDIS]]. The TARDIS seemed to only partially [[materialise]], turning the Doctor and his [[companion]]s into [[ghost]]-like visitants in an [[alternate timeline|alternative future timeline]] in which they had becomes exhibits in the [[Morok]]s' [[Space Museum]] on [[Xeros]].

The [[Fifth Doctor]]'s TARDIS jumped a time track and was thrown through a [[time corridor]], ending up in an alternate timeline in which the [[Dalek]]s mutated into insect-like monsters.

[[Time track crossing protection protocol]]s were pre-set circuits in [[TARDIS]]es that were supposed to be engaged all the time. When visiting a place multiple times, this prevented a TARDIS from reaching it by making the TARDIS think it had just been somewhere when it really hadn't. [[The Doctor's TARDIS]]'s protocol was sometimes engaged and sometimes not. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Renaissance of the Daleks]]'') | |||
When the TARDIS once landed in between times, in a time where this was no time, the [[Eighth Doctor]] believed that he and his companions had jumped a time track.
