Drink associated with railway in recent times (8)
I believe the answer is:
latterly
'in recent times' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'drink associated with railway' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'latte' (type of coffee drink).
'associated with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'railway' becomes 'rly'.
'latte'+'rly'='LATTERLY'
(Other definitions for latterly that I've seen before include "Nowadays or recently" , "In the recent past" , "in recent period" , "Nowadays, of late" , "In recent days" .)
