Commute to & from station to Chhatrapati Shahu Ji University [Kanpur Uni]

Are the trains in kanpur Central [vande bharat & shatabdi] late nowadays because of fogging & all? If one chooses a train that reaches late at night, i.e 2-3am, are uber-ola services okay to use. And btw, what if theres an option to use a designated driver? So is that better economically than train+cab combo? Pls answer
