Every Route wants a Session, so I don't fight it. I always have an appropriately named Session for working on a route, using the "Edit the Session, not the Route" philosophy.
That is, always open the Session in Surveyor, then switch to Route layer for Route work.
Things like industry configuration etc., only appear in the Session layer. Using favorite rules while testing in UDS takes setting them up in Session. Environment is in Session. I appreciate having that available while switching Surveyor/Driver. I use a session layer named Consists, to keep track of the locos and rollingstock.
It is important to not save as driver, but to always save in surveyor, either as route and overwrite session, or just as overwrite session if nothing in the route was changed. This keeps the session intact with any progress.
One rookie's method---YMMV
