Runs into delays so gets off Eurostar? (8)

I believe the answer is:

detrains

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

'gets off eurostar?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'runs into delays' is the wordplay.
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'into' is an insertion indicator.
'delays' becomes 'detains' ('detain' can be a synonym of 'delay').
'r' placed inside 'detains' is 'DETRAINS'.

'so' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for detrains that I've seen before include "Emerges from railway journey" , "Leaves railway carriage" , "Steps on to platform" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
