Unit: degree (supplier to define representation)
Geodetic CRS: EWR3-IRF
Datum: EWR3 Intermediate Reference Frame
Ellipsoid: GRS 1980
Prime meridian: Greenwich
Data source: EPSG
Information source: Network Rail.
Revision date: 2025-05-05
Scope: Engineering survey and topographic mapping for railway applications.
Remarks: Intermediate CRS created in 2024 to assist the emulation of the ETRS89 / EWR3 SnakeGrid projected CRS through transformation ETRS89 to EWR3-IRF (1) (code 10850) used in conjunction with the EWR3-TM map projection (code 9765). The EWR3 SnakeGrid is an extension of the EWR2 SnakeGrid, and between Oxford and Bedford the two grids are identical.
Coordinate system: Ellipsoidal 2D CS. Axes: latitude, longitude. Orientations: north, east. UoM: degree
Center coordinates
-0.58 52.02
WGS84 bounds:
-1.43 51.7
0.27 52.33
