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 SCM22-TM map projection (code 9971) applied to SCM22-IRF (code 9969), emulates the SCM22 Snake projection. Applied to ETRS89 (as realized through the OSNet v2009) defines SCM22-IRF hence is errorless.
Method: NTv2
