While the Tardis travels through time and space, it has never been subject to the initial forces I described. That is, whenever the Doctor goes to Earth, it’s seemingly in the same location that it was the last time he visited, instead of vectored off a vast distance away.
Instead, the Tardis seems to operate in a rather static galaxy.
If it does make such relative adjustments, it is not part of the plot line.

Incorrect, from what I remember of Dr. Who. A Tardis can have spatial as well as temporal coordinates set and changed. The Tardis can be ‘maneuvered’ spatially without changing temporal planes, and the temoral plane can be maneuvered without changing the spatial plane. The fundamental threory behind the functioning of the Tardis is that our entire universe is like a particle, with threads which run throughout like diameters of a sphere, and if one follows a particular diameter, though it may get warped and twisted, one travels spatiotemporally throughout the inside of the sphere. And since spacetime is expanding, one can never reach the surface of the spacetime sphere, but a stable anomolous warp of space or time can be orchestrated. The Tardis has a much larger inside than outside, created by an echoing of the 'surface' limits of whatever is chosen as the initial shape of the Tardis in use. The Doctor had a nemesis named 'The Master' who used a Greek Doric column as the outer image of his Tardis, just as the Doctor used a British Police Box. The Galifreyans were the ones who discovered how to manipulate the spacetime coordianting system (thus the original Time Lords), but the technology was stolen by other civilizations, especially one 'fathered' by an evil genius named Davros.
