New Daily Kanpur Central–Anand Vihar Mail to Strengthen Overnight Rail Connectivity

Indian Railways has approved a new daily train service between Kanpur Central and Anand Vihar Terminal, providing passengers with an additional overnight travel option between Kanpur and the National Capital Region.

The new service will operate as Train No. 14153/14154 Kanpur Central–Anand Vihar (T)–Kanpur Central Mail. The service is expected to strengthen passenger connectivity between Kanpur, Delhi-NCR and several important cities and towns along the route.

Overnight Connectivity Between Kanpur and Delhi

Train No. 14153 Kanpur Central–Anand Vihar (T) Mail will depart from Kanpur Central at 8:40 PM and reach Anand Vihar Terminal at 4:50 AM the following morning.

In the return direction, Train No. 14154 Anand Vihar (T)–Kanpur Central Mail will depart from Anand Vihar Terminal at 11:25 PM and arrive at Kanpur Central at 7:25 AM.

According to the approved schedule, the train will cover approximately 428 kilometres in both directions. The journey time will be around 8 hours 10 minutes from Kanpur Central to Anand Vihar and approximately 8 hours in the return direction.

The overnight timings are designed to allow passengers to travel between the two major terminals while making use of the night hours, potentially reducing the need for daytime travel.

Eight Commercial Stoppages

The new daily Mail service will have eight commercial stoppages between Kanpur Central and Anand Vihar Terminal.

The scheduled commercial stops are:

• Phaphund
• Etawah
• Tundla
• Hathras
• Aligarh
• Khurja
• Dadri
• Ghaziabad

These stoppages will provide additional connectivity for passengers travelling to and from important locations across Uttar Pradesh and the Delhi-NCR region.

The inclusion of stations such as Etawah, Aligarh, Khurja, Dadri and Ghaziabad is expected to make the service useful not only for passengers travelling between Kanpur and Delhi but also for those travelling between intermediate cities.

Additional Travel Option for Delhi-NCR Passengers

The introduction of the daily service will provide another rail option for passengers travelling between Kanpur and the National Capital Region.

Anand Vihar Terminal serves as an important rail gateway to Delhi-NCR, while Kanpur Central is one of the key railway stations serving central Uttar Pradesh. The new overnight service will connect the two terminals during hours that can be convenient for passengers travelling for work, business, education and other purposes.

The service will also provide direct rail connectivity for passengers from locations such as Etawah, Aligarh, Ghaziabad and other intermediate stations.

Strengthening Passenger Mobility

The new Kanpur Central–Anand Vihar Mail is part of efforts to provide additional passenger services on an important rail corridor connecting Uttar Pradesh with the National Capital Region.

With a daily frequency in both directions, the service will offer passengers a predictable travel option and improve connectivity between the major urban centres and intermediate towns along the route.

The overnight schedule, combined with eight commercial stoppages, is expected to make the train a useful addition to passenger services between Kanpur and Delhi-NCR.

The service will cover the 428-km route in both directions, linking Kanpur Central, Etawah, Tundla, Hathras, Aligarh, Khurja, Dadri, Ghaziabad and Anand Vihar Terminal through a single daily rail service.

With its overnight timings and daily operation, the new train is set to add another connectivity option for passengers travelling between Kanpur and the Delhi region.
