I am getting a feeling that CRs dear own LTT NZM AC weekly Express will have RSA with this weekly SC Rajdhani and will run on either Thursdays /Fridays from NZM at 13.30 hours to arrive LTT at 09.30 hours
In return, it is most likely to depart LTT on Fridays/Saturdays at 13.30 hours to arrive at NZM on Saturdays/Sundays at 09.30 hours.

This is not official though I could make out from bits and pieces of facts available…
1. RCF has dispatched to NR around 15 LHB 3As, 10 LHB 2As, 3 LHB 1As, 4 LHB PC, 5 LHB EOG in past 2 months. The supply is more than what is required for 2 pairs of JAT Rajdhani
2. CR wants to launch AC Express in May.
3. No LHB rake yet dispatched by RCF for CR and even if dispatched will take quite some time for trial runs by which it couldn’t be launched in May.
4. SC Rajdhani has 10 3As out of its 18 coaches and CR had also announce that LTT NZM AC express will have more 3 As.
5. SC Rajdhani has a total standalone rake with no RSA and hence remains idle for around 4 days a week. LHB rake has been demanded for this train.
I hope CR gets its own LHB rake but the situation is the reverse… :(
