Hi,
I am trying to convert OSGB grid references to WGS84, but do not succeed
and don't understand why? 
I use
: echo "SD8015002109 "|gdaltransform -s_srs EPSG:27700 -t_srs EPSG:4326 
which gives 
: -7.55729138544866 49.7667307394399 50.4807807941111
If I use [1], the result is 
: 53.515279 -2.300819
which can be verified as correct on maps.
What error am I making in assuming this should work?
I use 
GDAL 1.9.1, released 2012/05/15
Fedora 17
Thanks!
