Belgaum Dharwad definately deserves a direct link by train. This woud save the travel time between the two cities by Train largely and also would help reduce road traffic between these two cities very much.

The climatic conditions and the erudite population of Belgaum should be tapped well for good purpose like making it the education hub of Karnataka next to Bangalore and Manipal. Belgaum definately deserves an IIT, which is being proposed to Government by the local MLA.

Doubling of TRACK between HUBLI AND BELGAUM is also essential for faster connectivity between these two important cities ,as well as they provide a vital link for MUMBAI BANGALORE CORRIDOR.
To introduce High speed non stop trains between metro cities.

Belgaum Dharwad direct line is very essential for overall developement of North Karnataka,The line
should be completed before 2015. Instead of linking via Bailhongal, a separate track from bagewadi
can be laid to connect bailhongal and Saundatti for the benefit of Yellamma devotees or ,a new line should be laid between GOKAK YARGATTI YELLAMA TEMPLE AND DHARWAD.
