Taking a journey beyond Carlisle today prompted me to think of how Hadrian's Wall was affected by the building of the railways in (relatively) recent times.
1) Where on the WCML would Hadrian's Wall have passed (Google maps link preferred)?
2) Including former lines, how many times was Hadrian's Wall crossed over by a railway?
3) What was the view in the 1830s with regards to preserving Hadrian's Wall?
4) What did the railway builders do with bits of the Wall they may have had to move?
5) Has anyone in the past 50 years tried to do/done an archeological dig on NR land where Hadrian's Wall passed?
