The rake of this train has been permanently transferred to SBC Div. of SWR. The staff is also of SWR except the pantry car service which is still under NR's supervision.
When I traveled in this train on 3rd july this year, the bedroll and blanket given were fresh and shining like a brand new factory made. All this happened because SWR has took the overall charge of this train w.e.f 1/7/2013 from SBC and 2/7/2013 from NZM.
So, it is no more a NR train.
