Nice spot's bid to connect railroad that's regularly scrapped (7)
I believe the answer is:
riviera
'nice spot's bid' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'connect railroad that's regularly scrapped' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'that's' could be 'ie' and 'ie' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for riviera that I've seen before include "I arrive at fashionable European coastline" , "Mediterranean resort area" , "Warm coastal region" , "I arrive at French holiday coast" , "Med coastal region" .)
