I don't recall seeing different length trains on the Sukhumvit lines and I wonder if the gates at the platforms are able to adapt to different length trains. Of course, I could be wrong.

All BTS stations are built to accomodate eventual 6 car operations. As I've mentioned previously (see post Sept 2017), the BTS should have already moved to 5 car operations a couple of years ago given pax numbers, but they have chosen not to do that. They are always a few years behind in terms of the rollin stock orders rather than ordering ahead of time based on projected pax growth - profit over safety.
