extra

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'additional' is the definition.
(extra means additional or surplus)

'outlet one no longer used by gunners' is the wordplay.
'outlet one' becomes 't' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'no longer' becomes 'ex' (prefix meaning former or onetime).
'used by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'gunners' becomes 'RA' (Royal Artillery).
't' put after 'ex' is 'ext'.
'ext'+'ra'='EXTRA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for extra that I've seen before include "Additional - bye" , "more than usually" , "Actor's part" , "Bit actor in movie's crowd scenes" , "Minor actors in crowd scenes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
