So you want route part which might be used by several different routes
and its variants.

I get your point and have to say I had thought about similar before but
I think it was/will get reject cause of complexity. You will end up with
at least one more level of relations with the relation hierarchy even
though it would save me a lot of work especially where I have several
lines with up to six or seven variants all following the same road.

This is used to get all route variants in one relation
