Grievance Description : To Railway Board, Subject:- WAP-7 locomotive for upcoming GKP ELS From the pg reply I got for my previous MORLY/E/2016/04185, it is clear that JHS wont be allotted WAP-7 locomotives any sooner for trains like Pushpak Express, Sant Kabir Dham Express, Kushinagar Express, etc. Lucknow-Gorakhpur section of North-Eastern Railway will soon be electrified. Now, NER till date was a complete diesel hauled zone with no Electric Loco Shed under it. In such conditions, After the electrification of GKP-LJN section, Railway Board is requested to specially provide 3phase locomotive training to NER/GKP helping them to shed WAG-9 firstly and soon they should be able to shed WAP-7. Sant Kabir Dham, Kushinagar Express etc use WAP-7 of CR, when CR themselves have only 15 WAP-7 locomotives only. Many other CR trains need WAP-7 like 24 coach Pushpak, Vidarbha, Sevagram, etc
Current Status : CASE CLOSED
Date of Action : 08 Jul 2016
Details : Since, production of conventional tap changer locomotives has been stopped, sufficient no. of three phase locomotives will be provided to Gorakhpur electric loco shed in NER and training of staff will be planned as and when required.

Mentioning separately about Mumbai Rajdhani incident. I know you wont have a answer for that. hence, you termed it as controversial.
About Rajdhani trains especially BCT/HWH, their schedule and links are specially taken care of. For HWH Rajdhani, when the GMO P7 had caused problems several times, immediately, the link was changed to GZB P7 in 2011 and GMO WAP7 were discontinued.
Similarly, in 2011 itself, WAP7 was regular link for 18 coach BCT Rajdhani and WAP-5 was regular with 17 coach AK Rajdhani.
Then,

after ac conversion in BCT/WR in 2012, P5 was again made regular link for Mumbai Rajdhani, until 2014, this wheel slipping had happened and immediately, the link was changed to P7.
Rajdhani requires 130 mps loco to maintain it's schedule, be it WAP4/5/7. Now just look at what is written. Train took extra time in WR n WCR high speed sections since wheel slip occurred due to drizzling rain on up gradient of 1:200 and max. permissible speed of 130 kmph could not maintained. There was no trouble in loco. Earlier this train took 16" extra in RTM-NAD section of WR due to same reason. No loco trouble (Load-21 Coaches).
No. of coaches have increased i.e to 20-21 + unexpected drizzling weather in the month of January.
This problem doesnt look rectified yet as WAP-5 are not made regular, even with AK Raj. At 130 mps itself, WAP5 has a tough time hauling 21 load and then you people saying WAP5 are becoming old n unreliable and still mention about high demand.
Besides that, BRC has showed interest in HOG WAP7 too. And it is very likely that those HOG WAP7 wud be given to their Rajdhani trains as regular links.
