View of street with train (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

standpoint

'view' is the definition.
(standpoint is a kind of view)

'street with train' is the wordplay.
'street' becomes 'st'.
'with' becomes 'and'.
'train' becomes 'point' (pointing is a kind of training).
'st'+'and'+'point'='STANDPOINT'

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for standpoint that I've seen before include "Take" , "Opinion" , "Attitude towards a particular issue" , "view" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
