I rode on one of the new(ish) DLR trains for the first time on sunday. Going
at full pelt from shadwell to westferry there wasn't any wobble at the

apologists on here constantly denied despite being asked why no other tram
system exhibited it.

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

Don't know. Whatever the reason the new stock has sorted it. I'm pretty
sure if it was as simple as the wheel profile they could have re-profiled
all the wheels and sorted it out years ago.

Ride the new stock a bit more.
