Lisboa (or One-Way Routes)
A one-way route can be defined as normal, and then use only one of the directions in the vehicle definition file. The downside is that the other direction will show up in the summary, and as a timingpoint. Both places with seemingly valid departures.It is much better to explicitly prevent one of the directions, by placing «-» in every platform column for that direction. The route will be missing in that direction in the summary, if all the platform in that direction has been set to «-». It will not show up as a timingpoint.
Lisboa tram route 12E (E = Electrico) is a straight forward (and short) example of a one-way route. It is shown at the right hand side of the map:
The tram routes in Lisboa does not run with fixed intervals, so I have simplified the departures quite a lot. (Want to have a look at the real departure times? Go to this page, and click on the PDF icon.)

The summary will give a single direction, which is also the first (and only) and thus in the Down direction. I recommend doing it like this, i.e. use the Down direction, but it is possible to use the Up direction instead.
Route 12: Martim Moniz - Martim Moniz

21 | 23 38 53 08 Martim Moniz [B]
It is also possible to specify «down:off» to manually disable the Down direction, or «up:off» to disable the Up direction. If you combine this with «reverse», the reversal will be done before disabling the brand new direction. It is probably not a good idea to combine them, though.

Reversing a one directional route
It is possible to reverse a one-way route, but the result will be the same. I.e. a one-way route in the same direction. But that direction will now be Up if we started with Down and vice versa.

Note that we have to change the D to U in the vehicle definition file as well, for this to work. As you have reversed the route.
The other tram routes in Lisboa are rather boring, with all the departures running the full route, in both directions.
Let us take a look at route 28E, anyway, as we can use that to illustrate another point.

Route 12E runs every 15 minutes, as shown above, whereas route 28E runs every 7.5 minutes (in my simplification). Let us have a go at combining the routes, so that the two trams (i.e. the drivers) on route 12E can see more of the world (or Lisboa, rather).
This requires two versions of route 28E (internally called 28a and 28b), each one running every 15 minutes, and then we combine one of them (28a) with route 12E (at Martim Moniz) in the vehicle definition file:
File: lisboa/lisboa-12+28.setup
## Networkplanner ##
route set 12 file:12E.def down:2 interval:15
route set 28a file:28E.def down:1 up:1 interval:15
route set 28b file:28E.def down:8.5 up:8.5 interval:15

The timingpoints will report route 28a and 28 separately, as shown for some of the stops:
Martim Moniz [A]
03 -- 18 -- 33 -- 48 -- | 28a Martim Moniz
-- 10' -- 25' -- 40' -- 55' | 28b Martim Moniz
Martim Moniz [B]
-- 02 -- -- 17 -- -- 32 -- -- 47 -- | 12 Martim Moniz
01 -- -- 16 -- -- 31 -- -- 46 -- -- | 28a Campo Ourique (Prazeres)
-- -- 08' -- -- 23' -- -- 38' -- -- 53' | 28b Campo Ourique (Prazeres)
Sé [A]
01 -- -- 16 -- -- 31 -- -- 46 -- -- | 12 Martim Moniz
-- -- 11 -- -- 26 -- -- 41 -- -- 56 | 28a Martim Moniz
-- 03' -- -- 18' -- -- 33' -- -- 48' -- | 28b Martim Moniz
Sé [B]
-- 09 -- 24 -- 39 -- 54 | 28a Campo Ourique (Prazeres)
01' -- 16' -- 31' -- 46' -- | 28b Campo Ourique (Prazeres)
We can merge the routes, like this:
File: lisboa/lisboa-12+28II.setup (changes only)
timingpoints :merge[28;28a;28b] timingpoints.def
The first route ID in the semicolon separated list (inside the brackets) is used instead of the other ones. The routes (i.e. rows) are only merged if they have the same destination.
Note that «:merge» will enable «:tabulated» as well, as shown below. This can not be disabled.
Martim Moniz [A]
03 10' 18 25' 33 40' 48 55' | 28 Martim Moniz
Martim Moniz [B]
-- 02 -- -- 17 -- -- 32 -- -- 47 -- | 12 Martim Moniz
01 -- 08' 16 -- 23' 31 -- 38' 46 -- 53' | 28 Campo Ourique (Prazeres)
01 -- -- 16 -- -- 31 -- -- 46 -- -- | 12 Martim Moniz
-- 03' 11 -- 18' 26 -- 33' 41 -- 48' 56 | 28 Martim Moniz

The whole tram network
I have not forgotten the remaining tram lines in Lisboa; 15E, 18E, 24E and 25E, as shown in the illustration at the top of the article. Let us have a go at all of them, for completeness, even if they do not have anything new to offer us:The network setup file:

I'll skip the definition files, and jump straight to the required number of vehickes - as it gives an idea of the size of the operation:
1200: Number of vehicles: 2
1500: Number of vehicles: 10
1800: Number of vehicles: 4
2400: Number of vehicles: 3
2500: Number of vehicles: 5
2800: Number of vehicles: 14

Total number of vehicles: 38
