Official EPSG transformation from HS2-IRF to ETRS89

The EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset defines 1 transformation between HS2-IRF (EPSG:9299) and ETRS89 (EPSG:4258). Its parameters, accuracy and area of use are listed below.

HS2-IRF to ETRS89 (1)

EPSG:9302±0 m
Method:
NTv2
Area of use:
UK - London to Birmingham and Crewe
Scope:
Engineering survey for HS2 project phases 1 and 2a.

Grid file: HS2TN15_NTv2.gsb

In conjunction with the HS2-TM projection (code 9301), emulates zero-distortion HS2P1+14 Snake projection. For use with OSNet v2009 CORS. Supersedes HS2TN02 used with OSNet v2001. Derived at 350000 locations, RMS 0.15 mm; this is considered errorless.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is converting HS2-IRF to ETRS89?
The most accurate official EPSG transformation between these systems is accurate to about ±0 m within its stated area of use. Browser-based converters approximate datum shifts with Helmert parameters; for surveying-grade work apply the official transformation (including the grid-shift files listed below) in a desktop GIS.
Does my data leave the browser when I use this converter?
No. All coordinate transformations are computed locally in your browser using proj4js. The coordinates you enter are never transmitted to any server.
