Another interesting fact about rake sharing of 12337/38 Shantiniketan-12339/40 Coalfield-12341/42 Agniveena Express: The rake is also shared with 13011/12 HWH-MLDT Intercity Express and 53047/48 HWH-RPH Vishwabharati Fast Passenger. I came to this conclusion yesterday evening as I saw 53047 Vishwabharati Fast Passenger enter into Barddhaman (BWN) station and was surprised to see coaches with boards tagged 'Reserved for Durgapur', 'Resreved for Andal', 'Reserved for Asansol', which are normally written on the coaches of 12337/38/39/40/41/42. I could not take pictures as 53047 Vishwabharati Fast Passenger came into Barddhaman station as my BWN-HWH Chord EMU was leaving BWN.

I fully agree to what you say. I myself have seen the case of rake sharing between 13011 and 53047 as mentioned on the nameboard. I have also seen the common nameboard of 12337/38/39/40/41/42. But I also didnot ever see the boards tagged 'Reserved for Durgapur', 'Resreved for Andal', 'Reserved for Asansol' on the coaches of 53047 before yesterday. I saw these boards on the coaches of 53047 yesterday. Perhaps the boards were not removed at the Howrah coaching yard yesterday. This made me think of rsa between 12337/38/39/40/41/42 and 13011/13012/53047/53048. Maybe there are a total of 4 rakes dedicated for all these trains. I donot have any proof to show you at present, but definitely I will take pictures if I see this again.
