So what can they do to improve capacity? At the moment give or take peak hour has trams running every 4 minutes.

I take it that longer trams are not that much of an option and more frequencies will result in pile ups at the Stephens Green terminus, dont want to spread the service too thin either, perhaps a quarter of trams should operate Sandyford - Stephens Green and the other 3/4's should operate to Cherrywood. That might give a chance to the service incase of a problem while also providing reasonable capacity for all.
