The 12451 / 12452 '''Shram Shakti Express''' is an [[Indian Railways]] ''Superfast'' train which daily runs non-stop overnight between the cities of [[Kanpur Central railway station|Kanpur]] and {{stnlnk|New Delhi}}.

Modern LHB coaches with a MPS of 160 kmph are more comfortable. The new coaches, based on a German technology Linke Hoffman Busch, are made of stainless steel which do not turn turtle during accidents; the light-weight coaches will improve the train's speed. Bigger windows, lamps at all AC seats and sound insulation are the other facilities of this train.

Loco in-charge for this train is [[Indian locomotive class WAP-7|WAP-7]] Kanpur Shed. Earlier It was used to run non stop over night between New Delhi and Kanpur Central, but it had given a halt at Panki in Kanpur. It is non-stop overnight train.
