1.  In the Network editor window, click the Edit mode icon .

2.  In the Network window, click the Nodes button.

3.  In the network, click the node that you want to merge and hold down the left mouse button.

4.  Drag the node to the position of another node and release the mouse button.

The Merge nodes window opens.

Note: If the nodes cannot be merged, the node is moved without any message being displayed or window being opened.

5.  Select the desired options.

Under Edit > User preferences > User interface > Network editor in section Data transfer when merging nodes, you can permanently specify whether the data of the dragged node shall be transferred to the target node or not. If the setting Ask every time is selected here, the query always opens when you merge nodes.

The nodes and, if applicable, their stop points are merged. Depending on the setting, stops and stop points will also be shifted.
