hello, i am, rajan from,mumbai, i have been to dehli , and, agra, too, i think, its 4 hours, by train, no, ac, just catch trains, going, to agra, check, at new dehli, railway stn, its very near, 4 hours, u can take, by road, too, agra, but be aware, of pick pocketer,,and, dont chat w ith strangers ,ask, address only to shop, keepers,

Boarding any train will do as u will not be bothered by anyone on train if tickets are reserved and especially with AC.....For your information, AC First is the best available class on Indian Railways...after that AC second then AC third and then Sleeper (without AC).....check the train timings first and based on your convinence book it. If u find reservation available in Rajdhani/Shatabdi trains...it shud be preffered.

Official booking site is

I hope this will help

Hi,

I can recommend you two trains for Delhi/Agra sector -

1) Bhopal Shatabdi: Leaving delhi around 06:00 AM and arriving Agra by 08:00 AM

2) Taj Express: Leaving Delhi around 07:00 AM and arriving Agra around 10:00 AM

While returning also you can catch any of these trains as both the trains are scheduled to depart Agra in the evening.

If its for early July, you can book the tickets now to avoid further unavailability....

The best train to go from Delhi to Agra and back is the Shatabti Express. Train
# 2002 daily (except Friday when the Thaj is closed) Dep. Delhi at 06.15 Arr.
Agra 08.07. Train # 2001 Dep. Agra at 20.30 Arr. Delhi 22.30.
This is also the fastest train and gives you 1 whole day to visit the sites...

This is also the fastest train and that way you have 2 full days to visit all the sites. You should book the tickets now, even so July is not quite so busy...

...sorry, in my first post I didn't realize, that you wanted to spend 1 night in Agra - good idea, because then you don't have to rush to see everything.

Many thanks to everyone who answered.
