Unfortunately a wit isn't a royal such as Victoria? (7,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

railway station

'victoria?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'unfortunately a wit isn't a royal' is the wordplay.
'unfortunately' indicates an anagram (a bad or unfortunate spelling).
'a'+'wit'+'isnt'+'a'+'royal'='awitisntaroyal'
'awitisntaroyal' anagrammed gives 'RAILWAY STATION'.

'such as' is the link.

(Other definitions for railway station that I've seen before include "Victoria?" , "halt?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
