I thought it was a wheel profile issue, of running what are effectively
trams on normal rail.

Agreed, and the new trains are susceptible to the issue as well.


ISTR Manchester Metrolink used to have a similarly awful ride, though that
might have been because they built it on the cheap and left lots of the old
life expired track in place, particularly on the Bury line. The new builds
look very different.
