The reason Kerry people don't complain about about 2600s & 2800s is that they are very rarely used on the line - there may still be one scheduled working a week in each direction.
Yes the size of sets on the Kerry road are sometimes increased to six-cars as the number of passengers changing at Mallow routinely exceeds those travelling to Cork, sometimes by a factor of two to one. This arrangement is made possible by supplying an empty 3-car set from Portlaoise which attaches at Mallow to the regular set. The resultant six-car train splits at Killarney with one set returning to Mallow to attach to the 2nd branch set. This process may be repeated several times, mainly on Friday afternoons.
