I'd prefer this one - NMSTfL = No More Silly Titles for London.

I'd prefer this one - NMSTfL = No More Silly Titles for London. Or NDLRTTDSV = New DLR Train That Doesn't Shake Violently...even on the straightest sections they shake!

I think what they do is "hunt" because for some reason the wheel profiles are not well aligned to the track width. This allows the bogies to hunt (move) from side to side which transmits via the body. I've never really understood why DLR has such an issue with this given it's a pretty new network, it's had plenty of new rolling stock and there's no shortage of money for maintenance nor have there been any obvious maintenance "crises" (other than on the Lewisham extension which is maintained privately). It might be that the trains are relatively light which may allow the excessive movement when compared with tube / main line rolling stock.
