Rush to NE, moving from different direction (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

southern

'from different direction' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'rush to ne moving' is the wordplay.
'moving' is an anagram indicator.
'rush'+'to'+'ne'='rushtone'
'rushtone' with letters rearranged gives 'SOUTHERN'.

(Other definitions for southern that I've seen before include "From below the Mason-Dixon Line" , "away from the north" , "Of Counties Cork and Kerry, say" , "Antarctica is in this hemisphere" , "Of Cork or Waterford, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
