Similarly, I've noticed that the railway that goes through Loughborough and
Leicester tends to have 4 nodes in each place, with only one of them being used
to join the segments.
How easy would a "remove node if it is in exactly the same place as another
node, has no attributes, and is in no segments" removal script be? ...and would
it be "safe"?
I guess it would probably be best run on a planet.osm, and then the changes
checked and made to the database.
