I think I'll pass on travelling on a non-articulated vehicle on the
DLR -
the result could be rather messy!


I think the question was to do with how many bogies there are, and
there are three per "carriage" rather than four.


Er, which question?


The discussion about whether the trains were even articulated. I
think someone said that if what appear to be two cars have a shared
bogie in the middle, then it's right to call them single vehicles than
a unit of two (although that's still how I see them).


OK, understood your comments referred back to that previous discussion
(cited by Recliner) which I vaguely remember!

Agree that I see them as a unit of two too.

When was the last time that a single vehicle (single carriage) train ran on
the DLR?

Hmm. Can't answer if it's a question but, if it's a quiz, can I guess
1999?

Is most definitely the wrong answer!

There has never been a non-articulated vehicle in passenger service there,
though?
