Just out of interest, do these railway stations and airports, also come with a street address? What percentage of these items youre importing, are you bothering to check, 1 or 2? 1 or 2% 50%? None? Id be pretty sure that almost all airports and train stations are already in the database, and those that arent, are the exception, not the rule. Out of maybe 1000 airports, 995 might be on the system already, so is it really worth having to de-dupe and fix up 1000 nodes, just to get the 5 missing ones?
I know I always seem negative about people who mass-import data, unfairly, but put it this way, would you trust a travel guide from someone who'd never been to the place the guide is about, or would you prefer to use a source which someone has actually visited, and documented accurately?
