Thank you for your kind help!
If anybody would be looking for train schedules to or from Agra, this is not a bad place to start (Maps of India)

Unfortunately I will be on a tight schedule which makes the train not the best option. I will have to look for a driver. I did notice that Uber (Uber Black incl) operates in Jaipur and Delhi. Anybody any experiences for Uber in India? I did some research on Tripadvisor for a chauffeur service, but it seems like half of the Indian drivers community are trying to pick up clients on that forum

I booked a day trip a year ago from Delhi to Agra return from a company I found on tripadvisor (I'll see if I can find it in my files). There are quite a few companies which you can book these trips through and they all seem to be around the same price. I was by myself and I think the price was around $150 US--this included all transportation, a guide, entrance to sites and lunch. I could have got the trip both ways in the car or both on the train but chose to go to Agra on the train and return in the car. I was picked up from my hotel in the morning and driven to the train station in Delhi by a driver who made sure I got on the correct train (they booked the ticket for me which was included in the cost of the day tour). The train was nice and safe and they fed you a decent multi-course breakfast. I was picked up in Agra by the guide and driver who took me first to the Taj Mahal and then a couple of other sites and then lunch and then to a carpet factory. The driver drove me back to Delhi when I was done. Delhi to Agra on the train was about 2 hours and it was a little more than this by car. I hope this helps.
