Oh trust me, the hunting on the DLR is pretty bad. You’ll notice the second the trains get up any speed on a straight. The problem is bad enough for it appear in its own section of the DLR Rolling stock wiki page.

Here’s good video about the DLR time stamped to point that demonstrates the hunting well.

- dredmorbius 4y agoThanks. The video confirms what I'd surmised: that tight turns were the reason for more conical wheels. The sections I watched didn't actually show the wheel geometry, though, and I've not been able to find any photos online (DDG and Google Image search, various combinations of "DLR | Docklands Light Railroad | (conical|cone|conicity) wheel"). The WIkipeidia DLR Rolling Stock article mentions the conicity and hunting issues, but doesn't show the wheels either: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docklands_Light_Railway_rolling_stock#Problems_Experianced https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docklands_Light_Railway_rollin...
