Crossword Genius

National Express (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

state

This clue is a double definition.

'national' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'express' is the second definition.
(I know that express can be written as state)

(Other definitions for state that I've seen before include "Declare - political unit" , "A test (anag.)" , "Say; country" , "Declare; affirm" , "See 3" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Telegraph.
