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
front at all. So there was a design fault with the old trains which the TfL
apologists on here constantly denied despite being asked why no other tram
system exhibited it. Either that or its magic, take your pick.

Would the old trains be suitable for the Isle of Wight?

Probably too high for the ryde tunnel as they're almost mainline height.
Also they use a different 3rd rail system.
