Vikram, in India there is a severe demand-supply mismatch for accommodation in trains. So barring a few exceptions, whenever and wherever IR runs a train, the response will always be overwhelming after an initial start-up period. In such a scenario, I don't think value additions like LHB coaches, WAP7 etc. will enhance occupancy rates. Let us look forward to more and more trains instead of getting involved in the type of coaches, model of locomotives etc.
In any case, new LHB coaches for this train have been ordered. Would take some time before they are deployed.
