Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Fastest route from Delhi to Agra, and you get to depart from the slightly calmer H. Nizamuddin rather than the central New Delhi station. The way to Agra was on time, while the way back took an extra 10-15 minutes. But compared to what I’m used to in the U.S., it wasn’t bad. I think it would be a more comfortable and faster ride than being stuck in a car or bus in Indian traffic.
The food is a bit sad-looking, but I like that breakfast and dinner came with flavorful Indian hot meals. Yes, the tray they first give you is depressing, but the staff then bring out little reheated dishes of more flavorful Indian food. I didn’t get sick at all though I avoided the raw fruits and vegetables or the piping hot milk. Note you can ask for instant coffee rather than the default tea bag, but you have to ask. And all the staff I met were very friendly.
The only little hiccup was the bathroom, which broke. Fortunately there is one in each car (two if you’re happy to go “old school”). But they often had no toilet paper. The staff would supplement with paper napkins, but maybe that’s why our WC was dysfunctional lol
If you’re expecting first-class train service then no, this isn’t it. But it’s a fast, safe, and comfortable ride for a day trip to Agra, and do you really want to be stuck in a car for 2-3 hours in Indian traffic?
Note: I booked tickets via Expedia so I’m sure it’s a little more confusing if you do it yourself. This is a review of the train ride only!

This was definitely a good way to travel from Delhi(Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station) to Agra(Agra Cantt Railway Station) especially travelling in the Executive Class(EC), where you are given a basic meal of bread and jam, cereal, a banana, some cake, biscuits(cookies) and tea as well as a bottle of water for the price. It's fast and comfortable and nice and cool in this hot period of the year. It left on time and only arrived 8 minutes late, so quite reliable. The seats are comfortable and recline enough to rest. Overall, a good way to travel between the two places. I booked through the IRCTC website, which, although clunky, if you persist, you will be able to book all you trips. Total price, all inclusive: INR1,520.40

I‘m a European, with Indian roots and I have seen the Taj Mahal several times now (it’s really amazing, a must see). This time, I wanted to give the Gatimaan express a try. It sounded very appealing to me, to reach the Taj in under 2 hours, so I gave it a try. But…… then the problems came. Booking the ticket online, is WAY to complicated (booking a plane ticket on indigo is easier). You need to create a special account, then the OTP SMS / Email is not coming. You try again and again - and the OTP limit for the day is reached. So you have to wait for the next day. Problematic, if your time is limited. Right, then we Finally got the tickets as email, went to the station, and showed the ticket officer our tickets. He said they are not valid, and we should talk to another person he referred to, who then offered us cash tickets, for 2000 rupees each (normal price ca. 1500). We disagreed, and finally later just boarded the train, because we had payed for the tickets. The ticket instructor with higher rank came later, then just scanned the QR code and it was all fine. We barley escaped a money trap. If you act correctly like in Europe, you will be scammed. The ride was ok, smooth and on time. Food was below average. Service was excellent. The serving staff was very fast and friendly. The real disaster came when we left the train. It’s not Gatimaans express fault, but they should take care of the whole experience. The taxi drivers, baggers and shop owners, where so bad behaving, that it spoiled the whole Taj Mahal Experience. If somebody comes to india to see the Taj Mahal, all that you will remember are these bad things. They won’t stop following you, and won’t respect your privacy / personal space. They talk in your face. 3-4 persons at the same time, like automated tape machines without stopping. Get a private driver with car / mini van in Delhi. Who also acts like a guide and looks india (so the others won’t approach you / he will serve as an firewall). Then you have the best experience, more or less, in peace. India should protect the tourists more, by controlling these people more. They have no respect, they will 100% lie to you, they will scam you, and if you are white skin coloured, you’ll be surrounded by them like flys. It was horrible. Get a private driver! Sorry india. But you have to improve here. 🙏🏼

We rode this train on two separate occasions. No complaints about the timing. However, the cleanliness leaves much to be desired. The food trays come with unwrapped silverware. Tea bag, sugar, and powdered milk comes in a paper packet. On one leg of the train my paper packet was not properly sealed.

This is not a high speed train. It takes much longer to reach Agra from New Delhi than 1 and 1/2 hours as advertised. The train left on time, but took over 3 hours to reach Agra Cantt.
It is still the fastest way to reach Agra but your time in Agra will be impacted so plan accordingly.

This train takes 1hr 30min to get to Agra were a car journey is 4hr 30min so makes sense.
Lots of people day visit from Delhi to Agra rather than stay in Agra itself.
Yes the trains are old and 1st class means you have a seat rather than bench but it does the job. You have porters who carry your luggage from the car to the platform and then put it on the rack above your head for you for a few rupees.
Worth the time saving factor

Hygiene is good in this train as compared to Shatabdi, particularly toilets which gets cleaned regularly. The AC Chair car was good enough and not much difference compared to EC. 12050 train number which were in - goes via Agra where 50% passengers get down. We were off to the last one - Jhansi. Breakfast was decent with regular veg Indian fare and of course, seats were clean and comfortable. 4 and a half hours passed in a jiffy. Recommended.

This was a quick and easy way to get to Agra - once you have negotiated the train station and avoided bag carriers! Clean, comfortable, lots of leg room. Breakfast was simple but adequate and service was faultless. You can certainly do a day trip from Delhi to Agra using this service as return early evening. If you are going one way, plenty of luggage space. Newspapers given out too so good to learn a bit of 'local news.

How can I book the Gatimaan Express myself? We are a family of 4 and it seems exceptionally high price via tour agents when there is a direct train. We have been before, so not worried to go without support but the shorter journey much better with kids this time. Please advise. (The trip is planned at the end of the year - possibly 29th of December). Thank you.
