station

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

'network stop' is the definition.
'station' can be an answer for 'stop' (eg a stop on a train journey). I'm not certain of the 'network' bit.

'second director working' is the wordplay.
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'director' becomes 'tati' (actor and director Jacques Tati).
'working' becomes 'on' (e.g. a machine is working or on).
's'+'tati'+'on'='STATION'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for station that I've seen before include "Waterloo perhaps" , "Fixed stopping place for transport" , "Such as Victoria" , "Train stop" , "Put" .)
