They also filmed the views outside as the train made its way towards Agra.“This is what six euros gets you on an Indian train,” they said, explaining that they had booked a sleeper cabin for the two-hour journey from Delhi to Agra and had expected the experience to be much worse. Instead, they found two beds, curtains for privacy, a mirror and functioning lights. Since they had booked an AC cabin, they were also pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the temperature was during the journey.The couple added that passengers could apparently order food directly to the train. And if that did not work, vendors regularly walked through the coaches selling food and drinks. However, they decided not to take a chance on the food being sold onboard.The toilets, meanwhile, were exactly what they had expected, and not in a good way. The couple described them as disgusting, although they admitted that the train ride itself had been “pretty decent” considering the €6 price tag.In the caption, Wes and Nico said finding the right carriage and their seats had been a little hectic, but once they finally reached their cabin, they were pleasantly surprised by how clean, spacious and comfortable it was.The toilets, they added, were a completely different story, and they were glad the journey was only two hours long.Overall, though, the couple considered the trip an absolute bargain for the price.Watch the video here:Their honest review prompted plenty of reactions online.
