Ash,
 
You can use the Snap/Thin function.
This will allow you to snap nodes close together, and when you later combine these, they will become one node and so one object

Subject: [MI-L] combine close-together lines

hello, i have a few hundred bus route layers that i'm trying to get a rough distance figure on.
 
now most of these routes travel along the same arterial trunks for some portion of their journey, i'd like to combine any routes that do this so that portion is only counted once in the distance aggregate.
 
problem is most of these lines don't overlap cleanly, they are often a metre or so apart... enough so that when i combine the objects, they are still separate lines.
 
how can i combine lines that are close together and parallel?
