I think Indian Railways should revive the legacy of Old Kanpur Junction. It should be developed as a bypass station for trains belonging to the Delhi-Prayagraj route. Currently, Govindpuri is being used as a bypass station, which does not have enough facilities. Due to too many railway lines, the yard of Govindpuri is really cluttered, and trains need to change several lines to arrive at the platform of Govindpuri Junction. This causes a mini-block on the heavy traffic Delhi-Howrah Line.
Just like the Aishbagh and Charbagh duo in Lucknow, this Old Kanpur...
more... Junction can act as an alternate option for Kanpur Central.
Trains coming from Delhi or Prayagraj can be taken to this station, which will help to bypass the super-busy Kanpur Central.
