In my opinion railways should do rake sharing arrangements or rsa between 12467/68 Jaipur Jaisalmer Leelan express and 14717/18 Bikaner Haridwar express and should also give 1 more icf rake to Bikaner Haridwar express to make it daily between Bikaner and Haridwar and after doing rsa between both trains railways should do primary maintenance of these trains at Lalgarh jn and rake sharing pattern should be like this -

14717-14718-14704-12467-12468-14703 then primary maintenance at Lalgarh jn of total 3 rakes of 12467/68 and 14703/04 + and 2 rakes of...

14717/18 = total 5 icf rakes.
