There are restrictions but you can have a 3,4,5,6,7,8,9 coach fixed set if you want.
It requires the right type of intermediate coaches (they ain't all the same, two types) and a certification test for braking and to validate all the systems works

Why was 22033 taken out of service after it was running with 5 carrages.
So the intermediate coaches would all be the same on the 3 car sets so if it was to happen it would require the 6 car sets to be changed around to allow different formations and as two driving end coaches can't be put together then its just a waste as its taking sets out of service as a result just to benefit a few services.
In regaurd to Rosslare services I think an extra service for the summer lets say May-Sep a few days a week (thu,fri,sat) should be interduced and all other services should not be stopping in stations like Bray, Graystones etc as they have the DART and I would guess that capacity issues would not be such a problem but this may not be possible with the DART schedule etc.
