Last turn in Ticket to Ride: clarification
I am asking about Ticket to Ride Europe, but if possible I would prefer a generic answer.
Let's say player A claims a route and remains with 1 car. This, per rules, starts the last turn.
When it is again player A's turn, assuming all the needed cards are available, can any route be claimed, or only routes with length 1?

For what it's worth, the app will not let you do this (ie you can't place more train cars than you physically have).

He can only claim a route with length 1 because he only has one train.
You will not magically get more trains because it is the last turn so all normal rules still apply.
By the rules:
Game End
When one player’s stock of colored plastic trains gets down to only 0,1 or 2 trains left at the end of his turn, each player, including that player, gets
one final turn. The game then ends and players calculate their final scores.
There is no mention of different rules for the last turns so normal rule apply.

You are not required to claim a route. You can even draw new cards. But you can't use them anymore. But the wisest move to do is claim the highest valued route you can.

So Player A is required to use their final turn, but if they can't claim a route, they can simply draw (unusable) train cards, or gamble and draw route cards to see if they match any routes already claimed, correct?

@LarsKristensen On their 2nd to last turn, they played trains (otherwise, how did they go down to 0, 1 or 2 trains). You can only play 1 set of trains per turn. So if they are playing tactically, they could have the cards for another route and the trains as well they "held back" for their last turn.

The official online game requires a normal last turn for the last player, and drawing cards is the standard "do nothing" way to end the game.

This situation is not explicitly covered by the Game End rules. However, since not all the steps of claiming a route (see below) can be executed, I'd interpret not having enough colored trains as an illegal move. Therefore, the final player can only build routes with length 1 (or 2 if they had 2 trains left).
Claim a Route - The player claims a route on the board by playing a set of Train
cards from his hand that match the color and quantity of the spaces that make up
the route. He places one of his colored trains on each space, and scores the number
of points indicated on the Route Scoring Table for that route’s length;
