Coffee brought by railway recently (8)
I believe the answer is:
latterly
'recently' is the definition.
(I know that recently can be written as latterly)
'coffee brought by railway' is the wordplay.
'coffee' becomes 'latte' (type of coffee drink).
'brought' becomes 'ly' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'railway' becomes 'r' (eg in Great Western Railway).
'ly' put after 'r' is 'rly'.
'latte'+'rly'='LATTERLY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for latterly that I've seen before include "Nowadays, of late" , "In recent times" , "In the recent past" , "In recent days" , "in recent period" .)
