Regular people go to see Taj Mahal. RailFans go to see Ghaziabad Jn. - Praveen

So both JSJ's share three dedicated rakes only..
12835/36 and 12811/12 has their own dedicated rakes..

If possible see the newspaper clippings of winter when JSJ runs hours late and at hatia it is sometimes officially said at enquiry ( when asked about reason of departing late) that hte ltt sf will depart late because JSJ has reached late the previous night. Sometimes they print in local newspaper too as hte ltt sf is a good patronized and timely train throughout the year. I personally have seen the yard people changing the boards of train in morning ( from hte ltt to JSJ) while going to college. It maybe RSA might have been removed recently but atleast 3 months ago it was there.

Even if rsa is not there, the one rake of hte ltt sf will be idle from mon to fri, and other from tue to sat . I Hav never seen hte ltt rake standing in yard for that much time. Another rake of hte ypr will be idle from thursday to sunday and other from sat to tue. Its not possible. Its just like before all these 4 pairs 12817/18, 12873/74, 12811/12, 12835/36 share their rakes.

12835/36 has two dedicated rakes for sure.. I was a frequent traveller of this train.. And yes i have seen the empty rake of 12811/12 several times at hte yard..
The rakes which comes from anvt as 12818/74 can never run as 12835 due to their timings as 12835 departs hte at 18:25 and those rakes from anvt never reaches hte before 18.25.. So if there is any rake sharing then it may be between jsj and hte-ltt sf but impossible with 12835/36..

Confirmed today from my uncle who is a loco pilot in SER, and rake cleaner at hatia, all 4 pairs listed in previous blogs have RSA. Total 5 rakes and 1 spare rake. RSA of one train might be removed once hte ers exp starts only if it does not get exclusive rakes.
