Since you allow each user only one negative vote, that is not a
practical way of dealing effectively with an incorrect route.

In that case the site is anarchic and has no value IMHO. I am
tempted to propose Marylebone-Oxford Circus, then the Central Line
to Turnham Green. Well, it was a proposed extension in 1928! And
you wouldn't remove it in the name of democracy? Daft!

Well OK I will need to take this offline in the next message, but
just like to say here that to point out a problem without a
proposed solution is only half useful.

OK, I'll refund half of what you paid me for the advice. :-)

How do you suggest I should solve this problem of providing useful
info to everybody ? the calculated routes sometimes get it wrong
because they do not know about certain stations which are quicker
to walk. I provide people with a facility to suggest route, but
this only works if people makes sensible suggestions. To go in and
zap every route I do not like is simply not the solution either.

You could provide a feedback facility linked to each suggested route, a
sort of "Click here if you think this route is incorrect/stupid"
facility that produces a message form. If you get 3 or more saying that
a route is wrong, remove it. It's crude, but better than the current
system.
