Taking road in, sadly notice market's half abandoned — used to go there (3-3,6)

'used to go there' is the definition.
(ticket used to go somewhere but not to return)

'taking road in sadly notice market's half abandoned' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'taking' could be 'on' (eg one taking drugs is 'on' drugs) and 'on' is present in the answer.
'road' could be 'way' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'way' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
