Kanpur–New Delhi Shatabdi Express

Shatabdi Express train in India From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 12033 / 12034 Kanpur–New Delhi Shatabdi Express is the Shatabdi train connecting Kanpur Central with New Delhi. The load of passengers in Lucknow Swarna Shatabdi Express was heavy from Kanpur Central. Due to the excessive passenger load on Lucknow 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 Railway Budget. This train was flagged off by Union Railways minister Mamata Banerjee on 7 Feb 2010.[1] It runs on all days of a week except Sunday.

In its initial days, it used to run non-stop between Kanpur and New Delhi. Later, Ghaziabad [2] and Etawah[3] were added as intermediate stops and from 9 July 2016 [citation needed] Aligarh was also added.

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.
