TRIVIA: Suggestions for a snappy name

[rower40]

Most trains on the network travel from A to B. Such trains may reverse here and there, but the purpose of the journey is to GET somewhere. This also includes shunts from one platform at A to another platform at A; or, in extemis, a shunt from one platform at A to a reversing siding, then back into the same platform at A some time later so that another service can use that platform in the interim.

But there are a FEW services where the purpose of the journey is the journey itself. Examples (and I'm sure readers can think of others) are:

• route-learning trains
• track recording trains
• railhead treatment trains
• the more esoteric type of railtour

A feature of these is that they travel over the same stretch of line, in the same direction, twice or more. This can cause some automated systems (TRUST, SMART etc; and notably ARS!) to have problems - such as misrouteing the train when it comes to the junction where the train's different paths diverge.

Can anyone come up with a snappy name for such services? My colleagues have suggested:
SLOTOMS (Same LOcation Twice Or More Services)
Hokey Cokey Trains
TMR - Train of Multiple Reversals
JFJS - Journey For Journey's Sake
But none of these really trip (pun intended) off the tongue.

All suggestions gratefully received.

There’s an R theme emerging: Route learning, Recording, Railhead treatment, Railtour.
“R-sing about” trains?
Depends on your audience I suppose.
