Goes around North with German travellers (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

passengers

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'travellers' is the definition.
(passenger is a kind of traveller)

'goes around north with german' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'north' could be 'n' ('N' can be a synonym of 'north') and 'n' is found within the answer.
'german' could be 'ger' (abbreviation) and 'ger' is located in the answer.
'goes' could be 'passes' (passing is a kind of going) and 'passes' is located in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for passengers that I've seen before include "who'll get transferred by coach, perhaps" , "Weak team members" , "People on buses perhaps" , "Travellers on a bus, etc" .)
