Gatimaan Express Return (12050)

After a full day at Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and Fatehpur Sikri, this 17:50 departure gives you comfortable time to finish sightseeing.
Taj Express and Other Returns
The Taj Express (12280) departs Agra Cantonment in the early evening and arrives at H. Nizamuddin within 2.5 hours — cheaper than Gatimaan but comfortable for the short distance. Additional Shatabdi services from Jhansi/Gwalior also stop at Agra Cantonment, giving more flexibility on return timing.
Agra Cantonment (AGC) vs Agra Junction (AF)
Agra has two major railway stations: Agra Cantonment (AGC) — the main station used by Gatimaan, Taj Express, and most Delhi-bound trains, located near the military cantonment; and Agra Junction/Fort (AF) — a smaller, older station closer to Agra Fort, used by local and less-frequent services. Almost all Delhi trains use AGC.
Planning Your Agra Day Trip
Arriving by 10:00 AM on Gatimaan and leaving at 17:50 gives you approximately 7 hours in Agra. Prioritise: Taj Mahal (2–3 hours), Agra Fort (1.5 hours). Optional: Mehtab Bagh (sunset view of Taj from north bank) or Fatehpur Sikri (40 km away, requires full day). Pre-book Taj entry tickets online to skip queues.
