'anxiety' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'school transport down the line' is the wordplay.
'school transport down' becomes 's' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'the line' becomes 'train' (train is a kind of line).
's'+'train'='STRAIN'

'for' is the link.
