'drive new train without any doubt' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'drive new train without' is the wordplay.
'drive' becomes 'force' (synonyms).
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'without' indicates putting letters inside.
'train' with letters rearranged gives 'rtain'.
'force' going within 'rtain' is 'FOR CERTAIN'.
