Such an easy transit, Agra Cannt is not a huge station so navigating our way to the platform was painless. The journey itself was comfortable and we were well fed!!!

The first class cabin was quite dirty, and the toilets were filthy. For a 14 hour first class ticket, nothing was provided - no water, no food, no tea/coffee. Not really sure how this was any better to second class.

Booked Flixbus from Agra to Varanasi on 11/08/2025. The information about the boarding point is unclear (conflicting information : location pinpointed on the highway + more precise information about another stop in front of "Petha & Dalmoth shop"). Despite several (unanswered) text messages and a phone call from our taxi driver with the bus driver, we ended up at the wrong stop --> The bus stop is at the pinpointed location, and yes it's on the middle of the highway !!

Very comfortable sleeper bus but came almost an hour in delay. Also it's not clear where the bus stop is in Agra, we were lucky the hotel knew and helped us.
