.....also in 15a is "train" doing double duty as fodder and anagram indicator? Is the "again" supposed to ask us to read it as"train train"?

I saw only "again" (anagram indicator) for train

I've never seen "again" as an anagram indicator before. It's not included on the list that I use when writing clues:

I have seen it used in the Times jumbo cryptic a couple of times, but I am not very knowledgable in accepted indicators.
I bow to your knowledge

I think your "train" train is correct.
Chambers 12th anagram indicators list does not show "again"

Good Afternoon all - 24A . I can see the 'evil person' but can't get how " should return. To stump" gives the answer ?
