Dear members,
It was vivid to the railfan community that the 19411/19412 Ahmedabad - Ajmer - Ahmedabad Intercity Express was supposed to get LHB Rake (click here and accordingly WR received a LHB Rake too consisting of Brake Luggage and Generator Car(LWLRRM), AC Chair Cars(LWSCZAC) and Chair Car (LWSCZ) Coaches.
The dispatch of this rake from RCF, Kapurthala is as follows:

WR LWLRRM 128555/C Saturday, January 12, 2013
2 WR LWSCZ 126045/C Saturday, January 12, 2013
3 WR LWSCZ 126095/C Saturday, January 12, 2013
4 WR LWSCZ 126145/C Saturday, January 12, 2013
5 WR LWSCZ 126015/C Saturday, January 12, 2013
6 WR LWSCZ 126055/C Saturday, January 12, 2013
7 WR LWSCZ 126025/C Saturday, January 12, 2013
8 WR LWSCZ 126115/C Saturday, January 12, 2013
9 WR LWSCZ 126085/C Saturday, January 12, 2013
10 WR LWSCZ 126065/C Saturday, January 12, 2013
11 WR LWSCZ 126035/C Saturday, January 12, 2013
12 WR LWSCZ 126075/C Saturday, January 12, 2013
13 WR LWSCZAC 121525/C Saturday, January 12, 2013
14 WR LWSCZAC 121515/C Saturday, January 12, 2013
The rake was initially trialed as 09568/09567 Rajkot - Vadodara - Rajkot Special.
After some days, it was revealed that 12934/12933 Ahmedabad - Mumbai Central - Ahmedabad Karnavati Express will also receive LHB Rake (click here this doubled the happiness.
But unfortunately Rajkot - Vadodara LHB Special mysteriously disappeared, we predicted that this rake will now replace Karnavati's ICF rake after receiving some more LHB coaches, as even Ahmedabad - Ajmer Intercity also switched over to conventional ICF Rake.
But all of a sudden, due to immense political pressure (pressure=force divided by area mathematically ) in North India, the 12411/12412 Chandigarh - Amritsar - Chandigarh LHB Intercity Express which was also supposed to get an NR LHB Rake (click here was inaugurated on 16th November 2013, surprisingly the train appeared with LHB Rake, it used the WR LHB Rake which was actually allotted for Ahmedabad - Ajmer Intercity.
The LHB coaches that I found in the formation of CDG - ASR LHB Intercity are as follows:
1. 118595/C LWLRRM WR
2. 126065/C LWSCZ WR
3. 126045/C LWSCZ WR
4. 126145/C LWSCZ WR
5. 126125/C LWSCZ WR
6. 121525/C LWSCZAC WR
7. 126015/C LWSCZ WR
8. 126115/C LWSCZ WR
9. 126055/C LWSCZ WR
10 . 126035/C LWSCZ WR
11. 05787/C LSLR NR (Hybrid LHB LSLR with FIAT Bogies)
The whole rake except the NR #05787/C LSLR, all the coaches were of EOG type.
This is the video of this train with WR LHB rake: click here
But, on 14th December 2013, I saw some NR LHB Coaches being despatched from RCF, Kapurthala, it was as follows:
1 NR LS 13918/C Saturday, December 14, 2013
2 NR LS 13917/C Saturday, December 14, 2013
3 NR LS 13919/C Saturday, December 14, 2013
4 NR LS 13916/C Saturday, December 14, 2013
5 NR LS 13915/C Saturday, December 14, 2013
6 NR LS 13920/C Saturday, December 14, 2013
7 NR LWLRRM 13854/C Saturday, December 14, 2013
8 NR LWLRRM 13855/C Saturday, December 14, 2013
9 NR LWSCZ 13607/C Saturday, December 14, 2013
10 NR LWSCZ 13625/C Saturday, December 14, 2013
11 NR LWSCZ 13619/C Saturday, December 14, 2013
12 NR LWSCZ 13614/C Saturday, December 14, 2013
13 NR LWSCZ 13621/C Saturday, December 14, 2013
14 NR LWSCZ 13617/C Saturday, December 14, 2013
15 NR LWSCZ 13616/C Saturday, December 14, 2013
16 NR LWSCZ 13635/C Saturday, December 14, 2013
As these coaches were Brake Luggage and Generator Car(LWLRRM) and Chair Car (LWSCZ) Coaches, so I thought that some reputed NR intercity like Shan-e-Punjab or Taj Express etc. is under LHBfication.
But in reality, these coaches have been added to the Chandigarh - Amritsar LHB pairs. Of the 6 LHB Second Class (LS) Coaches, 3 LS coaches have been sent to Amritsar for adding 2 LS (1 spare) coaches with 12242/12241 Amritsar - Chandigarh - Amritsar Superfast Express (the legendary white elephant in past / ex-Duronto) and the other 3 LS (2 bare + 1 spare) to Chandigarh for 12411/12412 Chandigarh - Amritsar - Chandigarh Intercity Express. These 6 LS Coaches are in LHB Rajdhani livery.
This is the video of the train with NR LHB Rake: click here
At present, the following NR LHB coaches have replaced the WR LHB Rake of 12411/12 CDG-ASR-CDG Intercity Express.
These are the following coaches:
1. 13854/C LWLRRM NR
2. 13621/C LWSCZ NR
3. 13617/C LWSCZ NR
4. 13619/C LWSCZ NR
5. 13607/C LWSCZ NR
6. 13635/C LWSCZ NR
7. 13616/C LWSCZ NR
8. 13625/C LWSCZ NR
9. 13614/C LWSCZ NR
10. 06155 LWSCZAC NR (Old NR LHB AC Chair Car)
11. 13920/C LS NR
12. 13919/C LS NR
13. 05787/C LSLR NR ((Hybrid LHB LSLR with FIAT Bogies))
So, it is clear that:
1. NR received its own LHB rake for 12411/12412 CDG-ASR-CDG ICE
2. WR LHB rake which was used for 12411/12412 CDG-ASR-CDG ICE is now no more in use.
3. WR must have received back its own LHB Rake which was sent to NR, so may be WR can upgrade KARNAVATI EXPRESS after receiving some more LHB Coaches.
Thank You

We were discussing precisely the same issue yesterday. Where did the LHB rake meant for Karnavati vanish after an NR rake replaced CDG ICE? Looks strange.
