Yesterday I saw fresh lot of LHB coaches NCR based at RBL.
Maybe rolled out recently from coach factory.
Few are NR marked but most of them are NCR marked.
Any guesses to NCR train getting LHB rakes. On board 14 hour late 14116 HW-ALD Express.

Compare the time table of these 2 trains between Bareilly and Pratapgarh.
/train/40/456/455
/train/492/949/1
The Time Table and slots are same with Haridwar Allahabad Express having extra stoppages at Shahjahanpur,Hardoi and Gauriganj adding 10-15 more mins still managing to catch up with 12354 LKU-HWH SF Express.

Or other thing can be done is to handover E-Loco between LKO and HW.
Ample 15 mins stop and loco can be changed easily.
Nonetheless it normal link is LKO or IZN WDP-4D, extremely fast.

14116 k 1:20 hr & 14115 k 15-20 min speedup karna hoga Sf karne k liye.
Being a punctual train people preferring it over sangam.

Why this train often start late from ALD as it has no RSA? after reaching ALD at around 13.00/14.00 hrs as 14116, it has enough time to restart at23.45, still it starts 2/3 hours late often. Why?

It's attached to temporary hook arrangement till yesterday as those in boxcarts freight train.
Even I have noticed few days back.
This has to fixed because coach can be detached at high speed and causing lots of noise as reported by passengers.
The train got checked yesterday at Hardoi and Gauriganj former possible crack in arrangement and ALD is changing with other coach ordered...

Is it perfectly safe to run CBC and non CBC coaches attached with a temporary hook?

They had 5 coaches all non CBC.

@3162994-5 @way_thelong^~

Looks very dangerous. I don't understand how ALD couldn't arrange a single CBC coach

No it's creating lots of noise so routine checkup is done daily but today they have decided to change it new coach.
That means they are going to make 3A augmentation permanent.
It's dangerous obviously to attach coach with temporary hook but rake is single so I think they are not caring about it till a complaint was logded yesterday at LKO.
