Victoria and others having drugs — nothing injected (8)

I believe the answer is:

stations

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

'drugs nothing injected' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'victoria and others' is the wordplay.
'victoria' becomes 'station' (Victoria is a London train station).
'and others' becomes 's' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'station'+'s'='STATIONS'

'having' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stations that I've seen before include "places of work" , "Stopping places as for railway trains" , "Waterloo, Victoria, etc" , "Railway halting places" , "Roman Catholic devotions of the Cross" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
