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

'in africa one' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'to the uk british rail interceding' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'to' is found in the answer.
'uk' is within the answer.
'british' could be 'br' and 'br' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'could get' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
