Like mode of transport traversing sporting venue? (10)

I believe the answer is:

overground

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

'like mode of transport' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'traversing sporting venue?' is the wordplay.
'traversing' becomes 'over' (going over).
'sporting venue?' becomes 'ground' (eg a football ground).
'over'+'ground'='OVERGROUND'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for overground that I've seen before include "a description of very powdery coffee?" , "On the surface" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
