Kanpur-Delhi Express: New Daily Train Launching Nov 16!
Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to launch a new daily Kanpur-Delhi Express service on Nov 16 to ease travel and seat availability.
Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw is set to inaugurate a highly anticipated Kanpur Delhi Express Train service on November 16, 2026. This new daily service will connect Kanpur Central directly to Delhi's Anand Vihar Terminal, providing much-needed relief to thousands of commuters.
Ending a Three-Decade Wait for Kanpur
This launch marks a significant milestone for the industrial hub of Kanpur. It has been approximately 25 to 30 years since the city saw the introduction of a new regular express service on this specific route. The primary goal of this addition is to tackle the persistent struggle passengers face when trying to secure confirmed tickets on existing trains between these two major cities.
Detailed Train Schedule and Numbers
The new service will operate as two separate daily trains to ensure seamless connectivity for passengers traveling in both directions.
Train 14153: Kanpur to Delhi
- Departure from Kanpur Central: 8:40 PM
- Arrival at Anand Vihar Terminal: 4:50 AM (the following morning)
Train 14154: Delhi to Kanpur
- Departure from Anand Vihar Terminal: 11:25 PM
- Arrival at Kanpur Central: 7:25 AM (the following morning)
Boosting Connectivity for the Industrial Hub
The initiative has received strong support from local leadership. Kanpur Member of Parliament Ramesh Awasthi played a pivotal role in advocating for this service, highlighting how it would drastically improve travel options for the growing number of commuters. While Kanpur is already served by several routes, officials have emphasized that this specific service is tailored to meet the increasing travel demands of the region's industrial workforce and residents.
