Train fellow to become a driver (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coachman

'a driver' is the definition.
(coachman is a kind of driver)

'train fellow' is the wordplay.
'train' becomes 'coach' ('coach' can be a synonym of 'train').
'fellow' becomes 'man' (I've seen this before**).
'coach'+'man'='COACHMAN'

'to become' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for coachman that I've seen before include "Horse-drawn carriage driver" , "used to appear on the box" , "Wagoner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
