Is there an error in the Monday Prixmze Cryptic crossword online?

2d Exercise with weights in club after quiz (4,4)
surely this is PUMP IRON

12a Joker on coach in convoy (5,5)
I can only think of WAGON TRAIN

However, PUMP IRON contributes an R to the 4th letter of 12a which would mean that WAGON cannot work (would be ?A?R?).

My suggested answers seem perfect to me but maybe there are alternatives?

12, FAIRY STORY
But that doesn't fit the clue.
Possibly a wrong clue given in error Jack.

All the info I have given is correct and the WAGON TRAIN answer fits all intersecting answers. I have completed the rest of the grid. Just this outstanding.
There was an error which has now been rectified by them posting a new grid.If you load the crossword again you will get a blank grid. It was lucky that I could remember my answers from the original grid.Good luck.
wag on train must be right

Wagon train is correct.There is a new clue to 2 down:-
2. Hastily consume swallow feathers (4,4)
