Britain gave railways to the world, yet its own network is the dearest (definitely) and the worst (probably) in Western Europe. Trains are deeply embedded in the national psyche and folkloreâ€"yet it is considered uncool ! to care about them. For Matthew Engel the railway system is th! e ultima te expression of Britishness. It represents all the nation's ingenuity, incompetence, nostalgia, corruption, humor, capacity for suffering, and even sexual repression. To uncover its mysteries, Engel has traveled the system from Penzance to Thurso, exploring its history and talking to people from politicians to platform staff. Along the way Engel finds the most charmingly bizarre train in Britain, the most beautiful branch line, the rudest railway man, andâ€"after a quest lasting decadesâ€"an individual pot of strawberry jam. Eleven Minutes Late is both a polemic and a paean, and it is also very funny.
