Geodetic CRS: ETRS89-GBR [OSNet v2009]
Datum: OSNet v2009
Ellipsoid: GRS 1980
Prime meridian: Greenwich
Data source: EPSG
Information source: Network Rail.
Revision date: 2026-02-10
Scope: Engineering survey and topographic mapping for railway applications.
Remarks: In conjunction with the EOS21-TM map projection (code 9738) applied to EOS21-IRF (code 9739), emulates the EOS21 Snake projection. Applied to ETRS89 (as realized through the OSNet v2009 CORS) defines EOS21-IRF hence is errorless.
