The 'official' terminology used by the DLR/ TfL (for better or for
worse) refers to an individual articulated vehicle as a "carriage",
so the long trains are "three-carriage trains" - see:

That said it's easy enough to work out what someone is talking about
if they were to refer to 2-car, 3-car, 4-car or 6-car DLR trains.

You and I may think it's clear enough, but Railway Herald managed to get
totally confused, and announced that the extended DLR trains consisted of
two, three-segment vehicles, rather than three two-segment vehicles. In
other words, they thought that the extension consisted of new intermediate
trailer segments (which have left the trains severely under-powered). And
I also remember a discussion here about whether the trains were even
articulated.

I think I'll pass on travelling on a non-articulated vehicle on the DLR -
the result could be rather messy!

I think the question was to do with how many bogies there are, and
there are three per "carriage" rather than four.

Er, which question?
