Im worried about a technique like that. You plan to remove all existing stops (whether survey'd or nearmapped or whatever) to be replaced by a mass data set. Just ask around how well that worked for the BP import and how many nodes ended up doubled up, or in the wrong location? If youve been on-the-ground and surveyed the data for the tram stops and simply wished to bulk upload verified data, that would be one thing, but if you plan on removing possibly surveyed data, just for the sake of importing a government supplied GIS list, I think the consequences should be understood that you could be removing accurate data to replace it with less-accurate data, unless you plan on reviewing/surveying every node yourself?
