Seek to provide the railway with a junction (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

try

'seek' is the definition.
(I know that seek can be written as try)

'the railway with a junction' is the wordplay.
'the railway' becomes 'ry' (abbreviation).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'a junction' becomes 't'.
'ry' put after 't' is 'TRY'.

'to provide' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for try that I've seen before include "A rugby score, result of effort" , "Attempt - hear (legally)" , "crack" , "Four rugby points" , "Examine" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
