Vaishnaw to Flag Off New Kanpur-Anand Vihar Overnight Train on 16 November: Timings and Stops

KANPUR (Metro Rail News): Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw will flag off a new daily overnight train between Kanpur Central and Anand Vihar Terminal in Delhi on 16 November, Kanpur MP Ramesh Awasthi has said. The minister will flag off the train, being called the Kanpur Express, from platform number 1 at Kanpur Central, according to Hindustan.

Indian Railways approved the service, numbered 14153/14154, in September. It will run daily over the 428 km route in about eight hours in each direction.

Timings and stops

The train will stop at Phaphund, Etawah, Tundla, Hathras, Aligarh, Khurja, Dadri and Ghaziabad.

First new Kanpur-Delhi overnight train in 25 years

The new train will run overnight like the Shram Shakti Express, the non-stop Kanpur-New Delhi train that was flagged off from Kanpur Central by then Railway Minister Nitish Kumar on 1 September 2001. Unlike Shram Shakti, the new train stops at Etawah and Ghaziabad, which is expected to make it popular with passengers bound for Ghaziabad, Noida and Meerut, who make up about 40% of Shram Shakti’s load, Hindustan reported.

“The city’s infrastructure will be strengthened by the new train. Delhi will no longer feel far for the people of Kanpur. They can board at night, reach in the morning, work during the day and return by the same train. We are fulfilling the promise made to the people of Kanpur,” Awasthi said.
