I never did understand why they couldn't sort that. Presumably trams have the
same wheel profile yet they don't tend to shudder and shake at higher speeds

And, guess what, despite how new most of its track is, the DLR is already
on to a track replacement cycle on its twisty sections:

Can't say I'm surprised.
