Or the trains can move much faster and much closer because of improved control.

You should recognise this argument: it's the same logic given for why self-driving will solve everything.

But you're always limited by loading time. If you take X seconds at each stop then you will end up with X * speed distance between each car. Even at 30s loading and 50 kph you're looking at 400 meters between each train.
