National Rail seems to use a three-letter code for stations - does that have any
relationship to this NaPTAN code?  For example
<http://traintimes.org.uk/london/edinburgh/> shows that Edinburgh is EDB, Euston
is EUS and so on.

unproblematic.  Unlike the bus stop import, it won't create lots of extra 
objects
on the map, and also unlike the bus stops, the data won't need manual
checking after the upload.  (It's just loading a new tag for stations that have
already been added to the map from other sources.)  The only difficulty would be
stations that exist as two or more objects - some manual intervention might be
needed to choose the right one(s).
