Jer-RODG-ery is the only railway pronunciation as far as I am aware. The
pub across the road from the station allegedly has some interesting
alternative pronunciations close to closing time.

Eurelia in South Australia used to have some interesting variants too,
especially when a train arrived with unsuspecting passengers
(perhaps not a frequent occurrence).
