While other trains have odd numbers for the down train, Bhuj has got an even number. Hence thought there was a zone change. Tue rake 1 departs from SHM to MAS and reaches back on Thu. Thu rake 2 departs from SRC to MAQ and reaches back on Mon the next week. Fri rake 1 departs from SRC to AII and reaches back on... more...
Tue the next week. In the second week, rake 2 will become SHM MAS and SRC AII, while rake 1 will become Vivek. The faulty one over here is SHM Bhuj which consumes almost an entire week for its to and fro journey.
Check the Tues rake arr time and Tues rake dep time it's not possible. So 3 rake 4 pair rsa probably still present, and rakes will be standardized when changed to Lhb. (After Coro Mail) 128XX, 228XX & 208XX all belongs to SER ECOR SECR
