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 ('half-John…
