Therefore, two three car set seats 380 (effectively 6 cars). This is a topic about the TRE, not Irish Rail, I didn't feel obligated to expand the topic into a discussion about every DMU on Earth.

Those trains are often coupled together to form eight-car and ten-car trains respectively.To be perfectly honest, I didn't happen across them in my very quick search. Thanks for adding!
There is also the Meridian Class 222, which has fixed lengths of up to seven cars. Some of this class was delivered as nine-car fixed trains.
Classic British Rail DMUs like the 251/261 class "Blue Pullman" (used on the Midland Pullman) operated in fixed-length trains of between six and eight cars.
