I just did a search of TRS22 only routes and sessions using the Web based DLS (the so-called "White Pages") and have discovered a number of "mysteries".
There are, at the time of this post, only 16 routes and 25 sessions for TRS22 - but it is early days.
There is a parallel thread in these forums dealing with the issue of uploads to the DLS that do not have a "genuine" thumbnail (e.g. have an image that says "This is not a thumbnail") at https://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?168720-Never-will-I-download and the general consensus of those who have responded is that if the creator does not take the time and effort to create a representative thumbnail then the asset cannot be any good. I have decided to adopt the same rule for routes and sessions that lack an informative description (even a brief one).
My rant for the week.

- 6 of those 16 routes have no description or a very brief and nonsensical one (e.g. "BUILDING ROUTE 31/7/22 .G"). Some of the routes have a title that indicates they are some sort of test or sample but without a description and with no interest in downloading them to find out, you have no idea what they are about. One has the word "Session" in its title, but it is a route and, to be fair, it has a very detailed description (in German) that when translated is quite informative so the "Session" could be a translation error or language based typo.
- 19 (yes 19!) of the 25 sessions have no descriptions or a very brief uninformative one and some have a nonsensical title (e.g. "2022 Niles").
