Nagpur-CSMT Sevagram Express will run with LHB coaches Ex Nagpur w.e.f. 26.5.2024 while 12139 CSMT– Nagpur Sevagram Express will run w.e.f. 27.5.2024.

Revised Composition: Total 22 Coaches-Two AC-2 Tier, 12 AC-3 Tier Economy, 4 Sleeper Class, Three General Second Class including Guard’s brake van and o­ne Generator Van.
*LHB Rakes*-
Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) coach is a passenger coach developed by Linke-Hofmann-Busch of Germany. It has been adopted by Indian Railways and produced by rail coach manufacturing units at Kapurthala, Chennai and Raebareli.
It has multiple advantages over the conventional ICF rakes such as :
•Lighter and Longer than ICF coaches
•Better Speed
•Safer ( They do not climb o­n the adjacent coach in case of derailment)
•Enhanced seating capacity
•Fitted with Bio Toilets
•Efficient braking at higher speeds
•Better air conditioning
•Economical and low maintenance cost
Replacement of ICF coaches with LHB coaches is another step by Railways towards providing better travelling experience to its passengers.
For detailed timings and halts please visit www.enquiry.indianrail.gov.in or download NTES App.

Yes , 6 or 7 SL coaches minimum should have been there , Even then there was still space for 9 or 10 3E coachesto be there in the formation, but they have given 12 3E coaches. Sewagram has many stops too. Also 12289/90 Duronto daily train is already running with 12 3A coaches .

I spotted 2-3 Youtube videos in which both UR coaches were in the front at in Vapi and Borivali for 12955 . So may be UR /GS coach position is changed now?

Also does 12955 MMCT-JP Expess have RSA with Paschim and Golden Temple Mail ? Is it a common pool of rakes and rotated between these 3 trains? They have identical coach composition and based at MMCT

12955/56 may also be there in RSA . Because Paschim, Golden Temple mail and 12955/56 MMCT-JP SF have same coach composition.

For all dates in Sep month maximum it showed around 25-26 berths so may be it would get one 3E coach , but different quotas may be there so could be 2 coaches also. Waiting for press release for exact information. Swaraj had 6 SL and 4 GS which was good and 9 AC coaches as well. I hope it is just one 3E in place of one SL coach so that it would still have at least 5 SL coaches.
