Distrust that Parisian railway (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

query

'distrust' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'that parisian railway' is the wordplay.
'that parisian' becomes 'que' ('that' in French).
'railway' becomes 'ry' (abbreviation for railway).
'que'+'ry'='QUERY'

(Other definitions for query that I've seen before include "Doubt" , "Question mark (printing)" , "(Pose a) question" , "Inquiry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
