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''', also called a '''temporal track''' or '''time path''', ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Device of Death]]'') was a path through [[time]] related to a [[time vessel]] or traveler. "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.

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. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Mutant Phase]]'')

[[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]]'')
