Crossword Genius

Journey time split (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trip

'journey' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'time split' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't'.
'split' becomes 'rip' ('rip' can be a synonym of 'split').
't'+'rip'='TRIP'

(Other definitions for trip that I've seen before include "Set off for" , "Pleasure excursion" , "Excursion (while on drugs?)" , "holiday" , "Accidental misstep" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
