Can it handle ridership as is with trains only every 15 min?

Mostly. The 8:15AM departures leave people on the platform but aside from that it can handle ridership pretty well. Going up to 8.5 minutes, which is happening in March, will result in significant extra capacity, probably more than enough for the next 20 years, after which either double tracking or train coupling will likely be pursued.
