Cloak room in Agra Cantt station ?

Deli Behli · May 6th, 2009, 18:08

Hi

Sorry if this is covered elsewhere, but I sure can't find it anywhere

Is there a cloakroom in Agra Cantt railway station? If so, do you know what hours it keeps?

If not - does one know somewhere close to Agra Cantt that'll hold a couple of bags for the day? I'm passing through Agra for the day (arriving 0350) and I'd like to take the 0700 local bus to Fat Sik, so don't really want to have to hike into Agra Ganj to find somewhere friendly for bag storage.

thanks everso

i have the same issue, i get into agra cantt at 11.30am and leave at 17.30pm and was wondering if there is anywhere to leave my bags.

This is the same for Udaipur, i get there on the morning and leave in the evening so need somewhere to leave my bag!

any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yes ! There is a Claokroom at Agra. It's open 24 hours, except for Lunch & Dinner Breaks, which are small. I don't remember the exact timings of the breaks.

One word of caution. They'll not accept your luggage, unless all the zips are pad locked.

Dear Dom99, sorry ! I have no info about Udaipur station cloakrooms.

All sections of your luggage (that contain anything) have to be locked, and you need a train ticket, incoming or outgoing.

Udaipur also has a cloakroom, in fact, all stations (that a tourist is likely to use) have cloakrooms, if they don't, they will keep your luggage in the ticket office, this happened to me at Chitrakoot, and they still had all the proper paperwork.

Indeed (what Steve said, and Delhiwala said). Moreover, I had to laugh how Lonely Planet diligently explains with each station that it's (currently) 10 Rs. per piece of luggage per 24 hours. Fact is that that is what it is, at any station.

ps It pays to enquire about those lunch break hours of course if they're not signposted, lest you find the place closed just as you need to leave. It's usually just a half hour or so.

Count on some time possibly needed to retrieve your baggage, so better not do this 10 minutes before departure. There'll be more forms to be ticked off, there may be people with a shipment of sacks in front of you... etc.

Do you happen to know whether there is a cloakroom like this at Agra Fort station as well?

BTW, if I have only 10 hours for Agra and want to see mainly Taj, do you recommend Agra CANT or Agra FORT? I know that trains heading for Jaipur go through CANT first and then to FORT. But don't know which station is more convenient or easier to reach.

Thanks a lot!!!

Almost all trains that go to Jaipur will not call at Agra Cant, only 1 train I think calls at Agra Cant first.

There will be a cloak room at Agra Fort station, and I think Agra Fort station is closer to everything than Agra Cant.

as i am planning to visit chandigarh with my wife for 1 day only and moving to manali for night journey is there cloak room facility available on chandigarh station? how much time i can keep luggage in cloak room?

thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!

You're in the wrong thread, and/but you'll find cloak rooms at most any station yes (so certainly at Chandigarh I suspect), and if not, the staff may well be willing to accommodate your gear in their office or something.

Keeping time is normally a month a think (well, in the latter case and graciously offered as it is, I wouldn't try to stretch it for as long. Again though, this would be the exception and along very minor stations anyway. Which Chandigarh isn't. Again, I'd be very surprised if there weren't a cloak room facility here.)
