Until SDO comes into operation, a six-car 22000 set is too long for Dublin-Rosslare service due to inadequate platform length. One of the solutions suggested in the past was a 5 car set but that would mean a subfleet.

Well, since the Athenry fire took out one of its carriages, there is a post on IRN claiming that set 33 is only running with 5 cars (http://irnirishrailwaynews.yuku.com/reply/51587/22000-Class-watch#reply-51587)... Will IE have the sense to put that on Rosslare service until 22633 is fixed?

It's a golden opportunity. They really should. Rosslare badly needs more than 3 carriages on some services.

Btw, when is SDO coming into operation?? Seems like we've been talking about this for ages now!
