typical ...got it now ...alternate letters...i t h a t
Every other letter of 'lifts heart'. Remember there's an extra letter in the wordplay.
Can anyone explain how to pars 1st across clue: lock stops train leaving. I can guess answer but can't figure out why.
'Occasionally' would lead to lIfTs HeArT, so the I in 'lifts' is the extra from wordplay.
Sorry, I hadn't scrolled - just saw the query in latest posts.
Lulu. I think it's Rests, stops, with the T, train, leaving?
No comment:-)
Thanks, 1ozzy - and at least I spotted my own gaffe!

It's RES( train ) S adding an appropriate letter at the start so that the solution is defined by "lock".
