I don't often go on the DLR, infact yesterday was the second time ever,
and prompted a couple of questions.

1. are the rails made form recycled corkscrews?!? thats one hell of a
shimmy going on along some stretches, what's that all about?

It's a design flaw, and also the reason why there are sinusoidal wear
marks on the rails and a speed limit.

I've been on one of the new trains recently. Didn't seem quite so bad
but the wobble is still there and added to that it had a nasty thump
from the front bogie each time the body wobbled at speed though it
could have been just that unit.
