It is one of those annoying things when you move to a new area learning the ‘actual’ pronunciation of places though. I remember moving to Yorkshire and learning that Keighley is pronounced ‘keeth-lee’ the hard way.
But yeah, you would expect the train companies running the area to get it right more often then not I suppose. Though we are talking about Northern here…

How did you think it was pronounced?
Not judging you for not magically knowing how random place names are pronounced or anything, genuinely curious.
I would pronounce it “kee-lee” as an non-UK person. I would never guess that there’s a T in there, because there isn’t one.
It’s more of a f sound (as in rough, enough).
As @rambaroo says below I thought it was ‘kee-lee’. My second guess would have been ‘kay-lee’.
