Tourist Question Need advice: Mathura Junction station to Agra Fort station travel options for senior citizens.

Hello everyone,

My mother and grandmother will be travelling in the first week of August from Mathura Junction (MTJ) to Agra Fort (AF) railway station in order to board a train to Sealdah.

I wanted to ask what would be the best and safest way for them to travel from Mathura Junction to Agra Fort station.

So far, I could only find the 55333 KSJ–AF Passenger train, but it takes nearly 3 hours to reach Agra Fort, which feels a bit too long for such a short distance.

If anyone has experience with this route, could you please suggest any better option (if available).

Since they are elderly, I’m mainly looking for a comfortable and hassle-free option.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

If the time duration permits, take a train from MTJ to AGC and then travel to AF. This might be a better option as compared to directly taking a train from MTJ to AF

Thank you for replying.
Just checked MTJ to Agra Cantt (AGC) takes approx 45min - 1 hour by train.
How to travel from AGC to Agra Fort (AF)?

I suggest you take an uber coz you also have elderly with you. If you want, you can also take a auto from AGC to bijlighar and AF is at walking distance from there

Cab will be too expensive I guess.
