Are trams allowed - if any of the UK systems have turning circles at both ends of a route then they would count.
Blackpool Trams have loops at both Fleetwood and Starr Gate

Indeed, some even carry on to Bedford late at night 4 hours non stop driving.Thameslink have St.Albans - Sutton Loop trains, which alternating via Wimbledon or Mitcham Jn.
Trains usually wait for 2 - 3 mins at Sutton before continuing around the loop back towards London and change headcode there (e.g. 9V29 becomes 9V30).
But this should still count, since all trains continue from Sutton and TL even name their timetable for the line "Sutton & Wimbledon Loop Services".

Don't know about any of the UK trams......the Hong Kong trams have driver controls at one end only....so they must loop.
If you’re referring to the double decker trams I’ve seen on Hong Kong Island, those are real trams of the type that ran in central London in the early 20th century (long gone well before I was born).

Blackpool has a loop at Fleetwood so the trams there don't reverse and that is in service. I believe there are also balloon loops at Bispham and Pleasure Beach for terminating trams (though not taken in service I don't think) and there is also a non-passenger loop at Starr Gate through the depot road - ordinarily though trams at Starr Gate reverse (via a shunt move?) (the depot road avoids Starr Gate stop anyway in one direction)
EDIT: Had missed page two, so most of this is a repeat
There are some in Europe too. I think it was Munich where I saw this (I believe the non-driving end may have shunt controls) where there are loops at both ends of the route
