Another fun puzzle but, like last week, I think there's a few that might cause a bit of head scratching.

I still can't parse the first part of...

7d Unseemly exchange by railway is quite a sight (7)

The first five letters give an 'unseemly exchange' - think of misbehaving children, a domestic dispute in public etc.

PS I knew there was another one...

11a Find out about unusual radiation (5-3)

As with the last one, 7d, I have the answers but I just need the parsing.

11 Unusual gives a four letter word in the middle of your answer, with the rest being an anagram.

Synonym of unusual in an anagram of find

Thanks Malone, thanks Cymro.

With regards 7d, I have a C in my answer which obviously can't have come from "Unseemly" - Have I gone wrong?

Brendan, C is correct. see Malone's post #2 "unseemly exchange" for first 5 letters eg a tantrum/outburst of words

Thanks Cerasus, I think our posts crossed. I completely misread Malone's answer. I got fixated on trying to swap/exchange various letters and missed the obvious, even when Malone explained it to me!
