In my journey today in 12596 HS, I got the chance to enter guard cabin and have a talk with guard. There were few interesting points discussed (you might be aware of all of them, but I felt like posting)
1. The train is capable of 130 KMPH, but the loco pilot is trained to operate only at 110, so he is not doing MPS on anvt-cnb section.
2. Yesterday at Khurja, there was failure of some transceiver which caused signal failure in section.
3.

At TDL, the trains at loop line pass with caution of 30KMPH. This cause trains to slow and possibly stand at outer if track not cleared.
4. HS stopped today at TDL as a passenger had medical emergency.
5. In NDLS- GKP section, the best train is my fav: Vaishali. It is board train, and given highest priority after premium trains (yes, I know it is well known fact)
6. In EOG, a permanent person is available who monitors the HVAC of the coaches.
7. The GZB-ALJN have too many passenger trains, and even Rajdhani can be stopped because of them if needed.
I have seen few interesting things as well:
1. As the TDL station is curved, and guard cannot give visual clearance to loco pilot, the clearance is given on walkie talkie by whistle to start the train.
2. When the train entered pf, guard instructed loco pilot that of have reached last coach and he can halt.
3. When the train started and reached mainline after pf, guard told loco pilot that main line reached, loop line finished. Virtually instructing him he can hit the MPS.
I will try to talk again, and get more interesting stuff.

Nothing wrong in that. There is nothing in a WAP5/7 that makes them 'premium' and other locos as 'non-premium'. Other than the BPL Shatabdi, Gatimaan and the special Raj, for all other trains, the loco link doesn't matter at all. IR just allots them based on loco availability and utilization. It is only RF's who, in their fascination with 'new' locos, designate P7 as 'premium' train locomotive. They are all the same for IR.

Re# 3345548-24              
The difference in acceleration isn't really much. For going from 0-110kmph, a WAP4 only takes about 40-60 seconds more than a P7 (P5 somewhere in between).
Also, fast acceleration is useful when the train has to stop and accelerate a lot. This one has a non-stop run between ANVT-CNB and not officially cleared to go beyond 130kmph.So the extra acceleration is of no practical use. To make better use of the extra acceleration, the loco has to haul a crawler or a train with an aggressive halt pattern (130kmph+ for WAP5 hauled ones).

Officially yes it has a non-stop run.
But practically it stops on the outer of every major station (which theoretically it shouldn't). And to make up that lost time, that extra acceleration will come handy.

Dere is a limited staff at cnb to handle 130kmph trains which is why all lhb trains are not given 130kmph in one go.
Rajdhani + MB + puru + sk etc only
.
Also dere is a shortage of LPs in general.

Also all rajdhanis r back to back gives convience to IR n LPs.
