Good news for people of Kanpur who frequently travel to Delhi! After nearly 25 years, the city is finally getting another regular express train to the national capital. The new daily superfast train, approved following efforts by Kanpur MP Ramesh Awasthi, will connect Kanpur Central to Anand Vihar Terminal, giving students, working professionals, business travellers and families another travel option.
Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw will flag off the new train on November 16, 2026, from platform number 1 at Kanpur Central railway station.
The Railway Board has approved the new service, which will operate daily in both directions. Here are the important details passengers should know:
