Vagrant gets a coach (5)
I believe the answer is:
stage
'coach' is the definition.
(stagecoach)
'vagrant gets a' is the wordplay.
'vagrant' indicates anagramming the letters (vagrant can mean wandering around).
'gets'+'a'='getsa'
'getsa' anagrammed gives 'STAGE'.
(Other definitions for stage that I've seen before include "Section (of journey)" , "Theatre platform; leg" , "Leg; part of theatre" , "horse-drawn vehicle" , "Gates (anag.)" .)
