I really don't think a 6 coach 22k should cause any problems.
In my opinion IE should have ordered 6 coach sets only.
I do not like the idea of trains becoming shorter for Intercity routes.

Main problem is the 22K are not fitted with selective door opening. The MK2 did indeed operate in longer formation. Now Health and Safety have put paid to that.
