I'll take the word of every conductor (and passenger) I've heard pronounce the name of those two stations over the word of a single recorded voice.Probably wise. There was a bit of a furore over here when the Midland Metro first opened and the automated announcements mispronounced Bradley Lane (the first syllable of Bradley rhymes with grade - the idiot rhymed it with add). I'm sure that virtually any automated announcement system will contain a similar sort of mistake so long as the policy of picking non-local voices for their neutral accents continues. |
