New form of travel in space (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

interval

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

'new form of travel in' is the wordplay.
'new form of' indicates an anagram.
'travel'+'in'='travelin'
'travelin' is an anagram of 'INTERVAL'.

(Other definitions for interval that I've seen before include "breather" , "what's between notes?" , "Space of time" , "Hiatus" , "Pause (between acts)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail, The Telegraph and The Guardian.
