I was hoping to be able to batch process a file of OSGB grid references
using the EPSG:27700 code, but with my limited knowledge I had not
realised that OSGB can also be defined with the eastings northings. I
also had no luck finding any references on how to achieve this, hence
asking here on any experience of achieving this.
