Have the DLR still not worked out how to deal with that issue? I
heard it was due to the use of tram-profile wheels on mainline-profile
rails. If that is the case, can't they just progressively replace or
reprofile the wheelsets?

Given that it doesn't happen elsewhere on the DLR (or not that I've
noticed anyway) then surely if that really is the problem then it's
that section of track that should be replaced, not the wheels.

It also happens almost all the way from tower gateway to canary wharf
though when I was on the DLR a month ago I noticed the line speed
seems to have been dropped a bit since last time I was on it. Possibly
to mitigate this issue.
