Confused again.
33d Move right three times at various places into hairy fast lane (10) I'm thinking transferral - anagram of fast lane rrr. Is this right? Because if so it means I have others wrong.

ARCH is cunning (one of its meanings) - the "person" is attached to "running newspaper", not to "arch"

And I hadn't realised arch meant cunning, thanks again. And also mamya for your reply. One other I don't understand is
11d French city men unproductive with first hint of sun. I have Orleans, but apart from it being a French city I don't know why.

OR = "other ranks" or enlisted MEN, LEAN is unproductive, S is first hint of Sun
