This is relevant because sometimes there are several transformation
operations available between 2 CRSs, and we'd like our users being
able to choose which operation they'd like to use. For instance,
between EPSG:23030 and EPSG:4326, at least the following
transformations are suitable for Spain: EPSG:15933, EPSG:1633,
EPSG:1133, EPSG:1145 [2], each using different methods & parameters
and thus providing different accuracy.

Is there a simple way to get this information?


EPSG:23030 is ED50 / UTM zone 30N.

In a first transformation step, the data is transformed from the projected CRS to the geographic CRS. In your case a transverse mercator projection on EPSG:4230 ED50.

The datum shift (with different accuracy depending on the parameters) is from EPSG:4230 to EPSG:4326. Look out for the datum_shift.csv file, e.g. under bin/gdal-data in the Gisinternal builds for Windows. There you find all datum shifts from 4230 to 4326 in the lines labelled SEQ_KEY 306 to 340. Remarks, area bounds and parameters follow in the next columns, and the last column PREFERRED has just one line with entry 1 (SEQ_KEY=308). This one has been chosen as default for all projections based on ED50.

You are free to use any of the other ones. For 7-parms trnasformations, you might need to change the sign of the rotation parameters RX, RY and RZ.
