Kanpur New Delhi Shatabdi Express

Kanpur Reverse Shatabdi is the second Shatabdi Train for Kanpur. The load of passengers in Lucknow Shatabdi was heavy from Kanpur Central. Due to the excessive passenger load on Lucknow Swarna Shatabdi from Kanpur Central and huge demand for a separate Shatabdi train from Kanpur Central, the Railway Ministry declared the new Shatabdi train from Central Station in 2009 rail-budget. This train is expected to become a boon for passengers from Kanpur. This train was flagged off by Union Railways minister Mamata Banerjee and UPA Chair-person Sonia Gandhi on 7 Feb 2010 and running days days a week (except Sunday).

In the starting days, it used to run non-stop between Kanpur and New Delhi. Later, Ghaziabad was also introduced as another stop between the two stations.

It is called Kanpur Reverse Shatabdi because it follows the reverse timetable of Lucknow Shatabdi; i.e. UP follows DOWN time table and vice versa. It is the second fastest train in India.
