You can't add more seats as you run out of platform for extra coaches, you need more trains dedicated to local services to pull commuters away from intercity
Am glad to say the 17.30 train last night seemed to be a newer one (excuse my ignorance at what is a MK2d or a MK3d!!) there seemed to be more seats on it, (I got on the train at 17.22) and I didn't see anyone standing when the train left the Heuston!!
