Agra's railway stations at a glance
Agra is served by seven railway stations: Agra Cantt., Raja-Ki-Mandi, Agra Fort, Idgah, Agra City, Jamuna Bridge and Billochpura. The station names matter when planning an arrival; confirm the exact one shown for the train rather than assuming that every Agra service uses the same station.
North Central Railway gives Agra Cantt. the code AGC, Agra City AGA and Agra Fort AF. Use the code alongside the station name when checking train details, especially when choosing a pickup point or arranging onward travel.
Choosing a station for your train journey
Choose the station printed on the train booking or confirmed journey details, then make plans around that station. Agra Cantt., Agra City and Agra Fort are separate passenger-service stations, not interchangeable names for one stop.
Agra sits on the Delhi–Chennai and Delhi–Mumbai trunk routes. Check the station name and code for the specific service before you travel.
For Agra Cantt., look for AGC; for Agra City, look for AGA; and for Agra Fort, look for AF. Keep the station name handy when arranging a pickup so the driver and passenger are referring to the same destination.
Getting onward transport after arrival
After arrival, use the station named on the booking as the reference point for onward transport. Agra's stations have different names and codes, so confirm the destination before setting off rather than relying on the city name alone.
The Agra Metro and getting around the city guide covers ways to get around locally.
Station names and codes also help make pickup arrangements specific, particularly when a journey has several possible Agra stops.
A one-day Agra itinerary can help structure sightseeing after arrival.
How close are the listed stations to Hotel Madhushrie?
Yamuna Bridge, Agra City and Agra Fort have different travel times from Hotel Madhushrie, so match the station to the train before choosing how to get there.

Where to verify train platforms and service changes
Check North Central Railway's official information before travelling, since train platforms and service arrangements can change. Agra Division has a passenger-amenities listing, and Agra Cantt. and Agra Fort appear in the railway enquiry-office directory.
For current train and platform details, check the official site before you go.
