Flight arrivals and train times

pigeon · Sep 1st, 2006, 20:34

Hi, I'm new to this forum stuff and new to India too so thanks in advance for your patience.

I am taking a group of 5 teenagers (16+) to Agra, India to help out in a children's home there.

Planned travel dates 27.7.07 - 7.8.07. Flying to Delhi then taking train to Agra.

We will either arrive in Delhi at 7.20am or 6.05am Sat 28.7.07 depending on which flight we go for.

Can you help me with train times and costs to Agra (1st class), and tell me which station they go from as I understand there are two in Delhi.

Also what would be the best way for 6 of us to get from the airport to the station?

In reverse, if we get the 02.10am flight from Delhi on 7.8.07, can you help me with train times/costs please.

Thanks for your help.

New Delhi Railway Station(NDLS) and Agra Cantonment(AGC)station are the one's you are looking for.
There are number of trains in this route and it would be best if you go to the http://indianrail.gov.in/ site and find out about their timings so as to pick one based on your convenience.
In the Indianrail site, click on "Trains between Imp.Stations"(located near the top left hand corner),select "NDLS" and "AGC",along with the "Class", from the drop down menu.On clicking "Get It" you'll get a list of trains.Choose a train from the list and then you can get the availability,price and schedule by selecting the appropriate buttons.

For a detailed discussion about which of trains to choose from start with the thread - Train information. The "Agra to Delhi" and "Delhi to Agra" postings can be found under the app. alphabetical headings.

Dear Pigeon,

Presuming that you will come out of Airport latest by 8.30 hrs. (**after completing the required formalities) and reach New Delhi Station by 10.30 hrs., you will have to huddle into a long-distance train for going to Agra, which is around 200 Kms. away from New Delhi.

You may get the following Train:-
