Oh dear - it all seems so obvious when explained - thank you everyone for the answers.
Any explanation for 8d please?

[scorpiojo]

What letters do you have?

[sedge47]

8d is a double definition, one a noun and the other a verb - TRAINS

[sedge47]

You missed out 'or another' at the end of the 8d clue.

[rsvp]

Understand 8d now thank you - can't believe I couldn't see tha sedge 47.
Sorry scorpiojo - had put the question and answer(?) in the op - maybe should have re done it. Thank you anyway.
