Thanks, useful script. I concur with Steve's suggested modification in his comment of 17/2/16, following my own checks against the September 2015 publication (v2.4) of the Ordnance Survey "A guide to coordinate systems in Great Britain"; everything else lines up. Overall a nicely written script.

Thanks for providing this useful facility. There is a bug on line 43, which should read N = I + II.* (lambda - lambda0).^2 + III .* (lambda - lambda0).^4 + IIIA .* (lambda - lambda0).^6 ; %C4. This then brings the code into alignment with the algorithm as published by Ordnance Survey

lll2os of os2ll(lat,lon) does not give the same latitude/longitude as is input. Can you check that?
