Only “Down Under”.

The Busway would be a neat writeup for Jalopnik.

Mercedes made several vehicles for the Channel Tunnel that could be operated from either end consisting of Fire, police and ambulance vehicles.

my imagination or are they registered in both countries?

Ye’, they are road registered in both France and the U.K.

The ‘Q’ plates are used for kit cars and the like.

There are several kept on either side of the Chunnel.

The Channel Tunnel is quite a marvel really with two cross over sections so one section of a tunnel can be isolated safely for night repairs.

Same idea –but for forest fires–, different scale (recce and liaison vehicle for the fire brigade of Cogolin in the Var area of southern France):

If I remember correctly the Monte Carlo rally is run (or at least used to be partially run) on some of the roads in the Var area.

A German fighting/recce 8x8 APC, the Luchs, (“lynx”) could also be driven from both ends.

The radio operator was the designated “back driver”.
