It's not a strange place to catch a train (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

station

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

'place to catch a train' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'it's not a strange' is the wordplay.
'strange' indicates anagramming the letters.
'its'+'not'+'a'='itsnota'
'itsnota' anagrammed gives 'STATION'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for station that I've seen before include "See 14" , "Building where service is based, fire or train" , "Depot" , "Broadcaster" , "Chosen fixed point" .)
