sessions

The only way I have found to do a sort of merge is select the session with most consists as the master: -

Save a copy under a different name.
Using the new master session add all the consists of the second session where they need to be in the master.
Close the master and open the second session for edit and select "edit session".
From the list of commands and rules select all those required for the function of the consists you have added to the master and copy.
Close the second session without saving, open the master session for editing.
Select "edit session" and paste the additional commands at the end of the existing list.
Now you can move the new additions up and down the complete list to your liking.
Check for any conflicting switch positions (that can be done in a session test).
Save the master session.

When I have done this, it works but sometimes it may be necessary to alter the timing of some movements to prevent conflicts on a common track.
 
sounds way to difficult your way....

if there is no way to just merge then the only way i can see, is to name and save all the consists of the session and then just add them all to the other session.
Not worried about the commands at the moment, because you can copy and paste .
 
Is there any way to merge sessions of the same route together?

Not directly since you can only have a single session loaded at any time.

Have different consists on different sessions and would like to merge. .

Since your consists (in both sessions I assume) are in a session layer I would use the following method (using Surveyor Classic - this method does not seem to be possible in Surveyor 2.0)
  1. Make a backup copy of the route (very important!!)
  2. Load the route and first session
  3. Create a new Route Layer, name it Consists
  4. Merge the Session Layer into the Consists Layer
  5. Save the route only (not the session)
  6. Exit Surveyor
  7. Load in the updated route and the second session
  8. Merge the Consists Route Layer into the Session Layer
  9. Save the Route and Session
I just tested in on a large route with many session consists and it worked using Surveyor Classic.

I think we are both saying the same thing, but my suggestion keeps both your original sessions unchanged in case the editing breaks anything.
you can only have a single session loaded at any time.
I do most of my session editing in TRS19 but from the launcher screen I can open Trainz in two separate windows and load different sessions in each. If my old brain cannot find a mistake, I switch between the two windows to check for that I have missed or messed up. I do like your solution I never thought about that, good idea.
