Winding tramline comes to depot (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

terminal

'to depot' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'winding tramline' is the wordplay.
'winding' indicates an anagram.
'tramline' anagrammed gives 'TERMINAL'.

'comes' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for terminal that I've seen before include "Ending in death" , "Last, final" , "Tramline at the last stage of a fatal disease" , "Arrivals or departures building" , "At the end, final" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Times.
