11a: Drive back one taking public transport eastbound (5)

The solution is REBUT and I can see that this is "tuber" in reverse. Presumably a "tuber" is someone who uses the tube. What I don't understand is the use of the term "eastbound". Surely eastbound would be left-to-right. Wouldn't a reversal device be "westbound"?

Maybe it's the drive back after going eastbound.
Otherwise there'd be no need for two directional clues.

Thanks Rossim. That could be it although it still strikes me as being an odd one!

21d "Sign one must stop visiting Tuscany perhaps, endlessly" (7)

I?A?I?L

16d "Got in gin and Barcardi, maybe that's in the kitchen" (5, 4)

S?A?E ?R?M Looks like SNARE DRUM fits assuming the percussion is known as the kitchen

Any help much appreciated

.....As you were:; just realised I'd spelt 25a incorrectly so 25a should read E?E?I?C

gooner

21d Your A should be an I. The definition is 'sign'.

I'll say no more unless you want me to.
