rail

'does such travel' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'trouble at the tourist centre?' is the wordplay.
'trouble' becomes 'ail' (synonyms).
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'centre?' means to look at the middle letters (I've seen 'centres' mean this).
The centre of 'tourist' is 'r'.
'ail' put after 'r' is 'RAIL'.

'mean' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rail that I've seen before include "Water bird; bar" , "Bird with long legs" , "20 backwards, that 7 runs on" , "The Iron Horse road" , "Barrier around lair" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
