Default DLR glad I wasn't drunk!

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? something
must be wrong with it. I walked down to sit at the front at one point
and was nearly thrown off my feet several times.

2. why are there drivers sometimes? I know they don't need drivers and
the one I was sitting behind seemed to be only closing the doors and
pressing the 'go' button, and then just jumped off at one station
leaving the train to make it's own way. Why have a driver for part of
the journey?
