Points: Normal/Reverse or Left/Right

[dorothy.pipet]

I am aware that some railways define a points lie as Normal/Reverse (which is familiar to me) and others use Left/Right. Can anybody give me examples of railways which use the latter, and tell me if it's Left-hand route or Left-hand switch closed?
Are there any other traps for the unwary for Left/right convensions?

Thanks.
Dorothy.
