Transfer from road vehicle to railway completed (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carry over

'transfer' is the definition.
(I know that transfer can be written as carry-over)

'road vehicle to railway completed' is the wordplay.
'road vehicle' becomes 'car' (vehicle driven on the road).
'to railway' becomes 'ry' (abbreviation for railway).
'completed' becomes 'over' (synonyms).
'car'+'ry'+'over'='CARRY-OVER'

'from' acts as a link.

(Another definition for carry over that I've seen is " Take on to a new page".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
