Kanpur Central :
Kanpur Central (Hindi: कानपुर सेंट्रल, Urdu:کانپور مرکزی) is one of five "Central" railway stations in India. It is a major intercity rail and commuter rail station in the city of Kanpur, and is situated on the Howrah - Delhi broad gauge route passing through Uttar Pradesh. It holds the record for the largest interlocking route system in the world. It is the busiest station of the North Central Railways recording traffic of more than 150,000 passengers, and more than 280 trains per day.
After determining the railway stations that need to be world-class, Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee included Kanpur Central in her list. She included funding for this work in her "50 World-Class Railway Stations" budget. A phased revamping has begun.
Though the re-modelling of Kanpur Central Station began a long time ago, it is being done gradually in phases. At present, the re-modelling work is proceeding very slowly, but senior NCR officials are hopeful of keeping their promise of providing a new, improved look to Kanpur Central in the near future.[2]
The present station was built in 1928,[3] though the imposing building was completed in 1930. The building's construction is inspired by Lucknow's magnificent Lucknow Charbagh railway station building which was built by the British in 1914; however, it could not be constructed identically to Charbagh because it would have been enormously expensive.
Deputy chief traffic manager Shivendra Shukla announced that the pending work at the railway over-bridge, presently under construction in Cantt, will be sped up.
