End of the line for a transport executive? (8)
I believe the answer is:
railhead
'end' is the definition.
(I know that railhead is a type of end)
'line for a transport executive?' is the wordplay.
'line' becomes 'rail' (synonyms).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a transport executive?' becomes 'head' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'rail'+'head'='RAILHEAD'
'of the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for railhead that I've seen before include "You've reached the end of the line here" , "Terminal of the track" , "end of the line - with 26d" , "End of the train line" .)
