The entire 17 coach LHB SG rake. The rake had a mix of '05 and '04 built coaches. The overall fit and finish left a lot to be desired. 2005-05. Vivek Manvi.

Any guesses on which service this rake will be deployed? A name board on the GS coach says Mumbai-New Delhi. There is currently no train between these two stations apart from the Mumbai Rajdhani!!. 2005-05. Vivek Manvi.
