Stops along the way for stoats in wild (8)
I believe the answer is:
stations
'stops' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'stoats in wild' is the wordplay.
'wild' is an anagram indicator.
'stoats'+'in'='stoatsin'
'stoatsin' anagrammed gives 'STATIONS'.
'along the way for' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stations that I've seen before include "places of work" , "Stopping places as for railway trains" , "Waterloo, Victoria, etc" , "Roman Catholic devotions of the Cross" , "Passenger train stops" .)
