Maximum delay once was in SBC Rajdhani in 2008, 2430 which got delayed at SC for two hours and reached Bangalore four hours and reached at 10:30 AM.
15 minutes-1 hour is quite common.

Please change the link. The link is not ED WAP-4 till WADI. It will be hauled by a TKD WAP-7 from NDLS to SBC but in the short unelectrified stretch,it will be towed by a PUNE WDP-4D. WAP-7 will switch on and continue in the electrified section.

From a credible source on the IRFCA forum and also a pic has been uploaded on Fb showing WDP-4D towing this train with the switched off WAP-7. This has been confirmed. WADI couldnt handle loco changes like D to E and E to D so thats why this arrangement.

Yes,that's what I said. From WADI a PUNE WDP-4D will come till DD. From SBC,it will depart with a TKD WAP-7 which will be attached for the whole journey till NDLS.
From WADI to Daund,WDP-4D will be attached. WAP-7 will remain attached. The whole WAP-7 in off mode with Karnataka express will be towed by WDP-4D till DD where WAP-7 will resume again.

GR is not a big station to handle consistently loco and crew changes and provide the infrastructure for that. That's why it is done at the Junction station,WADI.
Yes. According to IRFCA forum post,CEE/CR was quoted saying that CR had tried out this arrangement on a trial basis. But the reasons,though don't make much sense have been given for this. It is that HHP locos are only needed for the arrangement(WAP-7/WDP-4D) which may not be available all the time. False. The train runs with HHP locos all the time as LHP locos can't haul 25 coaches at that stretch on the plateau region. So HHP is needed whatsoever is the case. Second is that time loss was happening. This again is false as time is never kept up in this single line stretch from WADI to Jinti Road(double line begins at WADI for down and at Jinti Road for up). Jinti road is around 15 minutes towards Solapur from DD. Bhigwan to New Delhi is fully double electric line where the train goes at good speed. The actual reason...
