Ten trains running without delay (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

instanter

'without delay' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ten trains running' is the wordplay.
'running' indicates an anagram (the letters run around to different places).
'ten'+'trains'='tentrains'
'tentrains' anagrammed gives 'INSTANTER'.

(Other definitions for instanter that I've seen before include "On the spot" , "in court, immediately!" , "without delay" , "without hesitation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
