I know the train departs Mumbai at around 7PM and takes 21 hours to reach Agra. Does anyone know the timings for the return journey?

Is the train safe?

Any hints for train travel in India? Not done it before

Thanks in advance for any advice!
I wouldn't do it by train, even if 1st ACC. (If you're going to do it, do it at least 1st ACC.) Flights on the low cost carriers between Bombay and Delhi are not too expensive -- and then just train/bus it to Agra. Air Deccan, Spice, Go, etc. Checkout www.makemytrip.com .
