You missed the point and I was not clear. Shorter Light-Rail cars would give more cars per train if the full platform length is used. Shorter cars means a train can negotiate tighter curves, which means train could come out of the Waterloo Tunnel and be on a tight curve to branch onto the Northern Line. Also to manoeuvre around the docks as in London's Docklands.

Light-Rail cars also means trains could be much shorter on off-peak times but more frequent - using improved signalling systems of course.
