Good thinking. I recently was trying to take a train TB few months before at Varanasi. Since goods/parcel are also loaded/unloaded at the front of the train, there was a Railway employee as well there. Even saw through the images I took before quickly letting me go. Dunno but many railway personnel still think that anybody with a camera is a danger.
Eithercase, how is Govindpuri as a station and it's connectivity to Kanpur? I have been to the city twice. Stations like Anwarganj, Rawatpur, Kalyanpur run right through the middle of...
more... the city and are very easily accessible. Dunno about Govindpuri.
