Well, I got a train from Enniscorthy to Bray last weekend. The far side platform (they aren't numbered) in Enniscorthy was only just long enough to take the six 2800s, so the last carriage of a 22000 wouldn't land on the platform. There's extra length on the main platform so it's not a problem on that side.
