Water turning coach upside down? Correct (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

subedit

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

'correct' is the definition.
(check work as a subeditor)

'water turning coach upside down?' is the wordplay.
'water turning' becomes 'tide' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'coach' becomes 'bus' (synonyms).
'upside down?' says the letters should be written in reverse (I've seen 'upside down' mean this).
'tide'+'bus'='tidebus'
'tidebus' backwards is 'SUBEDIT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for subedit that I've seen before include "Copyread" , "Work on story" , "work in journalism!" , "Headline writer does" , "Work on paper" .)
