Re# 151749-21                  
I travelled not so long ago in this train and it has 14 SL.. but now I guess it has gone down as it was a 24 coacher already.
#
Since the coaches were numbered as A1-A3 and B1-B4 in some PNRs, I doubt if they are temporary. Temporary will have BE or EXT or something like that.
#
The exact coach composition is still not known. We have to wait till someone travels and give us the coach config.

Re# 151749-22                  
That is for sure. Here the discussion is on non Rajdhani/Shatabdi and non FULL AC Durontos. Normal express trains which have more AC coaches. I do not think anyone will beat 11 AC coacher Gujurat Mail.
