Carry to Acton central by car (4)
I believe the answer is:
cart
'carry' is the definition.
(carting is a kind of carrying)
'acton central by car' is the wordplay.
'central' means to look at the middle letters.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
The centre of 'acton' is 't'.
't' put after 'car' is 'CART'.
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for cart that I've seen before include "Wheelbarrow" , "Primitive transport" , "Open vehicle" , "Pulled vehicle" , "Hump" .)
