FR24 Lots of parallel flight tracks

Don't know whether its because of the much reduced level of aircraft actvity but when I've been looking at Flight Radar 24 these last couple of weeks t've been surprised at the numbers of aircraft that are flying a series of parallel legs, maybe 25-39 miles in length each one followed by a 180 return offset by a mile or two. I've seen these all over Europe and the UK

I've even seen what seem like completetly random tracks and spidery meanderings. There was one inhe English Channel this morning.

Must admit in normal circumstaces I don't look at FR24 as much as I am now, but does anyone know what's happening?
Are flight schools taking the opprtunity to do a lot more training?
