This train was flagged off by Union Railways minister Mamata Banerjee on 7 Feb 2010.Template:Citation needed 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, Template:Stnlnk and Template:Stnlnk were added as intermediate stops and from 9 July 2016 Template:Citation needed Template:Stnlnk 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.
