Backer on the Tube? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

angel

I believe this is a double definition.

'backer' is the first definition.
(an angel is a financial backer)

'on the tube?' is the second definition.
(station on the London Underground ie the Tube)

(Other definitions for angel that I've seen before include "Old coin; theatre investor" , "Spiritual being - financial backer" , "Theatrical backer" , "Word linking cake and fish" , "One backing plays" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
