Why slop on a random route? Well here's one example - Because your Eastbound Random route could be the reciprocal of the Westbound Tracks, especially if you are lateish Eastbound from the USA into the UK . I saw this happen a couple of months back after a err, discusion with one of our colleagues who really objected to sloping '"'cos we were on a Random route so there will be no-one around"...Sadly I had to resort to the "my trainset " ploy. It went quiet a few minutes later when we started to meet the dawn patrol of Westbound traffic.
