Default How does one pronounce Isledon Road?

When I was on the 360 bus the other day, I noticed that the recorded

always (of course!) said it like pellum; but perhaps TfL "knows
something".


There is a bus stop in West Ealing which used to be "The Leedo"
but has now been re-recorded to "The Lydo". (I don't know how to
pronounce "lido" myself, to be honest)


Tramlink pronounces Centrale (stop for a Croydon shopping centre of the
same name) as "Centraal", but buses seem to use "Central".
