Interior of a DLR train

Ever had one of those journeys where you're being bounced around on the rails?

A number of you on Twitter have said that the DLR is one of the worst offenders for travel sickness:

@21five I have a nasty bruise on my back from standing next to a pole on the DLR yesterday and getting bounced around.

@emley73 Worst stretch for bounce is Blackwall to Poplar.

@hazeltsoiwiles YES. I go from Bow Church to Deptford Bridge quite often too and always feel dreadful by the time I get to Island Gardens.

@Becky_Williams I travel on the DLR every day, I'm always petrified about falling off my seat into the aisle because of all the bouncing!

@bohaynowell The Met line can make me feel like I should be wearing a sports bra, but it doesn't make me feel sick.

I've been on the DLR and Metropolitan line in the past myself and can testify for the over-exuberant wobbly-ness.

Have you ever felt travel sick on the buses, trains or Tube?
