Helpful Hints
- This clue's indicators are 'chasing' and 'went'. One of these is a deletion indicator - some fodder will leave some other fodder. The other is a repositioning indicator, guiding us to swap the order of some fodder in the clue.
- This clue's fodder is 'Behind schedule, 'trains', and 'I'. We'll need to find a synonym of one of these and use it with the letters of the others to construct our answer, as guided by the clue's indicator(s).
- Our definition here is 'express internationally?', and our answer will be a word that conveys that. Note the question mark on the end (often an indicator that something in the clue is a little stretchy) - here, we'll need to find a sense of 'express internationally' that's perhaps a little loose.
