Cleaner, by a stop, caught early coach (9)
I believe the answer is:
charabanc
'early coach' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'cleaner by a stop caught' is the wordplay.
'cleaner by' becomes 'chara' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a stop' becomes 'ban' (I've seen this in another clue).
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'chara'+'ban'+'c'='CHARABANC'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for charabanc that I've seen before include "E.g. transport" , "Early coach" , "Old vehicle" , "An ABC arch (anag) - early excursion bus" , "Former coach" .)
