Women taking trips to Birkenhead (6)
I believe the answer is:
brides
'women' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'trips to birkenhead' is the wordplay.
'trips' becomes 'rides' (I've seen this before).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'birkenhead' becomes 'b' (head letter of 'birken').
'rides' after 'b' is 'BRIDES'.
'taking' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for brides that I've seen before include "trains behind them?" , "'Seven - - for Seven Brothers' (film)" , "Debris (anag)" , "Book by Evelyn Waugh" , "Girls about to marry" .)
