PF issue.
Othe reason is shunting from PDPK to HWH via SRC (previously PDPK CDO) use to block a path, already congested by locals and incoming trains at morning hours.

Old AC Chair car coach came to SRC CDO. Again we can see a lhbfication with all old antodaya and GS and new GS, AC coaches just like we saw in TATA Supar, HWH-DGHA Tamrolipto exp, etc. Don't know why RB not allocating new lhb coaches to SER. Too much negligency in allocating new coavhes to SER

Let's see kya hota hai. Maybe they might be thinking of extending Rupasi Bangla to somewhere like Bokaro that might give more passengers to justify the increase in AC coaches, or it would only be along with the wishes of IR to increase the AC coaches in all trains.

Re# 5558504-17              
Till date i didn't spot any new lhb chair car coaches around SRC. Only spotted 1 old LHB AC Chair car coach in SRC CDO and few LHB GS coaches in SRC CDO. Only 3 days left for Rupasi Bangla lhbfication, i think another old and new GS coach rake will be given to Rupasi Bangla Exp jst like goven to HWH-DGHA Tamrolipto Exp, ROU-BBS Exp, TATA-DNR Supar exp.
1 non-ac chair car coach in Steel Exp is replaced by Antodaya coach.
