I am confident that my my estimate is very close, suggest you ask your contacts in Irish Rail for CCTV of the 0712 from Drogheda arriving in Connolly.

As a matter of interest the crush load capacity for a 4-car 2900 is 819, 185 seated and 634 standing. Doing the maths again, the crush load capacity for an 8-car is therefore 1638.

Did you perhaps forget the seated passengers ?
