Right every time, Knut gets on board transport network (8)
I believe the answer is:
railways
'on board transport network' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'right every time knut gets' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'every time' becomes 'always' (I've seen this before).
'knut' becomes 'I' (where the crossword setter is 'Knut').
'gets' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'always' enclosing 'i' is 'ailways'.
'r'+'ailways'='RAILWAYS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for railways that I've seen before include "Systems of transportation" , "Iron roads" , "Permanent ways" , "Means of transport" , "Sets of train tracks" .)
