The number of coaches is irrelevant, as it the matter of whether brake coaches/guards vans should be counted. Even the matter of the number of seats is something of a side issue. The only issue for the average rail user is can they get a seat on the train when they want to?
I think the increased frequency on many lines will definitely be a big improvement for passengers, but it doesn't look like there will be much extra capacity, and the Friday evening services out of Dublin, and the Sunday night into Dublin will continue to be jammed solid.
