In my opinion, There is a way to get out of this problem specially in Kanpur. Kanpur is one of the major cities and situated on Delhi-Howrah and Lucknow-Mumbai route and the train traffic is increasing day by day making the train delayed by 1-2 hours waiting on the outer of the station to get the chance to be placed on platform. The main problem is, Kanpur has always been ignored by the politicians of our country and the development here is at snail pace. There is a need of New Railway Terminal in Kanpur but no body cares for benefit of Kanpur. There is an Old Cawnpore Railway Station situated on the New Delhi - Howrah Route and if this Station develops as a terminal station then most of the problem will solved in Kanpur Zone. the load of Kanpur Central will also decrease and people will also get benefited....
more... The Station is also situated near Kanpur ISBT (Major Salman Khan Bus Stand aka Jhakarkati Bus Stand) so it is an added benefit.
Beside This, 2 more line have to be build to flow the traffic smoothly, two for Slow Trains and two for Super fast Trains.
