Kolhapur Hyderabad express via Kurduwadi-Solapur.
Respected Sir, There are many people who travel from Kolhapur/Sangli/Pandharpur to Hyderabad daily. At least 15 buses ply through this route daily with full occupancy.
Now there are daily 3 direct flights connecting Hyderabad & Kolhapur. (AirIndia & Indigo)
There is an urgent need of good railway connectivity between these two regions.

present Kolhapur Hyderabad express is running via Hubli Guntakal route which is very long route (998 KLMs and takes 23 hours) it is very inconvenient and nobody from this region is benefited by this train.
We the people from Kolhapur-Sangli-Pandharpur region request you to please divert this train or start a new train via Kurduwadi Solapur as soon as possible, which should be overnight in both the directions (this is short route and a overnight train covering this distance in 12 hrs is easily possible.)
Hyderabad to Solapur is 335 KLMS which takes around 5-6 Hours. Solapur to Kolhapur is 315 KLMS which takes around 4 hours, so total journey can be covered in 10 hours. The Broad Gauge work (KURDUVADI - PANDHARPUR MIRAJ JN) is complete & many trains are running on the new route.
Many people are requesting this train from last 5-6 years. You can find discussions on this /blog.
The current option available is not feasible for elderly people & kids. The overnight buses are very risky & changing non connected trains is very inconvenient. Flights are costly.
Sir, we hope you will consider our request seriously and start the new train or change the root as early as possible.
