Getting from Delhi Airport to Delhi Cantt
I'm going to be arriving at Delhi Airport in the afternoon, and plan to take a night train departing from Delhi Cantt station (DEC).
My current approach would be to take the airport metro to Dwarka Sector 21 and walk 2.2km or take the 717 bus to Shahabad Muhammadpur Halt (SMDP), where I can catch a train to Delhi Cantt.
However, train schedule information for that line on that day isn't available (yet?), and I don't know the area. Is that a sensible plan? Can I assume the 54411 to run daily (as the IRCTC website doesn't know 5xxxx trains apparently)?

Unless you're already familiar with public transport in Delhi, I would simply take an Uber/Ola or maybe an autorickshaw from the metro station direct to Delhi Cantt.
Delhi is not suitable for pedestrians or an easy city to navigate, so walking is not a good option. It will also be extremely hot if you're planning this within the next few months.
Signage for both buses and bus stops is both minimal and often Hindi only, so taking a bus from an unfamiliar location to another unfamiliar ovation is going to be challenging. In addition, buses are often packed to the rafters and mostly not air-conditioned.
