I've enjoyed doing this, and there is now only
one word I cannot fit in. In 23 Down, the clue is
"Engine driver passes over eastern line". The
answer is DIESEL, but where does "driver" come
into it? The clue would still have fitted without
the word "driver" being mentioned. Am I perhaps
unaware of a bit of railway jargon whereby an
engine driver may, indeed, be called a "diesel"?

Perhaps it's referring to the fuel needed to "drive" the car?

Thanks Chrise! You could well be right - I wasn't
thinking of motor cars, but it seems that what you
said may be the only possible explanation!

passes over equals dies.....e(asetern) l(ine)

hope that helps
