LNER, How is it Pronounced?

[ayaz2001]

I have been calling LNER as liner, but ive noticed some people spell it out as - (el-en-ee-ar). have anyone else done this, and are there any other toc/foc pronounced two or more ways?

LNER is an initialism rather than an acronym, so each letter is spelt out - as per the OP, it is pronounced el-en-ee-ar, and this is reflected in announcements at stations and onboard LNER trains.

Only use if ‘liner I have heard is as shorthand for Freightliner.

When it was GNER I have heard people call it gun-ee-ar !

If you said Liner to me in a conversation I'd think you were talking about Freightliner. So I would suggest LNER is a better way of saying it.

If you’re going to pronounce it then it’s better to call it “Eleanor”.
