Tube station in a strange land (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

angel

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tube station' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'in a strange land' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'ANGEL' is hidden in the letters of 'strange land'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for angel that I've seen before include "Heavenly being - 21 (anag)" , "Top D [DECORATION]" , "eg Gabriel" , "one might be recording" , "Investor in a theatrical venture" .)
