Product Description


Details:
Britain gave railways to the world, yet its own network is the dearest (definitely) & the worst (probably) in Western Europe. Trains are deeply embedded in the national psyche & folklore
- yet it is considered uncool to care about them.

For Matthew Engel the railway system is the ultimate expression of Britishness. It represents all the nations ingenuity, incompetence, nostalgia, corruption, humour, capacity for suffering & even sexual repression. To uncover its mysteries, Engel has travelled the system from Penzance to Thurso, exploring its history & talking to people from politicians to platform staff.

Along the way Engel (half-John Betjeman, half-Victor Meldrew) finds the most charmingly bizarre train in Britain, the most beautiful branch line, the rudest railwayman, &
- after a quest lasting decades
- an Individual Pot of Strawberry Jam. Eleven Minutes Late is both a polemic & a paean, & it is also very funny.

Ideal for:
Eleven Minutes Late provides an entertaining look at our railways.

This paperback book has 336 pages & measures: 19.6 x 13 x 2.4cm.
