'it doesn't stop much' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'former media attendants' is the wordplay.
'former' becomes 'ex' (prefix meaning former or onetime).
'media' becomes 'press' (the press is part of the media).
'attendants' becomes 'train' (train can mean attendants following a royal).
'ex'+'press'+'train'='EXPRESS TRAIN'

'for' is the link.
