Stop stoat in wriggling (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

station

'stop' is the definition.
(eg a stop on a train journey)

'stoat in wriggling' is the wordplay.
'wriggling' is an anagram indicator (letters wriggle or move about).
'stoat'+'in'='stoatin'
'stoatin' with letters rearranged gives 'STATION'.

(Other definitions for station that I've seen before include "Depot" , "eg Paddington" , "Train stop" , "Place of duty, work" , "eg Temple Meads" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
