Help returning path object from Network Analysis Layer

Help - I'm trying to get the path to the "Routes" sub-layer of the Network Analysis layer created on Line 2, but can't figure out how to pass that information through to the correct variable (feature class identified at Line 52 and used at Lines 62 & 86). I suspect I'm not using the arcpy.Describe function correctly. What should I be using instead?

# Create route analysis layer and solve routes RAL = arcpy.na.MakeRouteAnalysisLayer( network_data_source = nd_path, layer_name = nd_layer_name, travel_mode = travelmode, sequence = "USE_CURRENT_ORDER", time_of_day = None, time_zone = "LOCAL_TIME_AT_LOCATIONS", line_shape = "ALONG_NETWORK", accumulate_attributes = None, generate_directions_on_solve = "DIRECTIONS", time_zone_for_time_fields = "LOCAL_TIME_AT_LOCATIONS", ignore_invalid_locations = "SKIP" ) print ("Route analysis layer created") # Get the layer object from the Route Analysis Layer result object. # The route layer can now be referenced using the layer object. layer_object = RAL.getOutput(0) # Get the names of all the sublayers within the route layer. sublayer_names = arcpy.na.GetNAClassNames(layer_object) # Stores the layer names that we will use later routes_layer_name = sublayer_names["Routes"] # Instantiate a ServiceArea analysis object. service_area = arcpy.nax.ServiceArea(nd_path) print ("Service area set") # Get the desired travel mode for the analysis. nd_travel_modes = arcpy.nax.GetTravelModes(nd_path) travel_mode = nd_travel_modes[travelmode] print ("Travel mode acquired") # Set properties. service_area.timeUnits = arcpy.nax.TimeUnits.Minutes service_area.defaultImpedanceCutoffs = [5, 10, 15] service_area.travelMode = travel_mode service_area.outputType = arcpy.nax.ServiceAreaOutputType.Polygons service_area.geometryAtOverlap = arcpy.nax.ServiceAreaOverlapGeometry.Split print ("Network Analysis properties set.
