Some of the improvements, which will bring about a transformation in rail travel for people and communities the length and breadth of Wales and its borders, will be immediate, including a new customer website and app, new branding appearing across the network and enhanced Welsh language service provision – while other will be introduced as soon as possible.   
   
These include plans to spend £194m on station improvements, including the building of five new stations, and the deep cleaning of stations from this December.  
   
Ken Skates said:


> "Our plans go beyond a traditional transport project – they have to become the spark for wider economic renewal.  They have to help individuals, businesses and communities who need a reliable, integrated transport system to help them find a new job, support their business to expand, and bring new investment to their town.
> 
> The Metro project is not only about dealing with today’s transport problems, but how we provide opportunities for the future —and not just in transport terms, but the impact that the Metro infrastructure will have on economic possibilities for people throughout south Wales.”

Other major benefits of the new Wales and Borders rail contract include:

* An additional 600 staff will be recruited to deliver the service in a range of roles and 450 new apprenticeships (30 every year) will also be created over the life of the contract.
* £1\.9 billion will be invested in improving passengers’ travel experience, including an £800 million investment in trains, boosting overall service capacity by 65 per cent.
* By 2023 95 per cent of journeys will be on a 148 brand new trains, half of which will be assembled in Wales.
* The Central Metro will be operated by 100 per cent electric traction, with the electricity sourced from 100 per cent  renewable sources,  50 per cent of which will be sourced in Wales.
* By the end of 2023, passengers will be able to take advantage of an additional 285 services each weekday across Wales (a 29 per cent increase). This will include improvements to the Ebbw Vale and Wrexham – Bidston lines as well as the Cambrian and Heart of Wales lines.
* From December 2022 there will be a 28 per cent increase in Sunday mileage, creating a true seven\-day\-a\-week service.

Smart ticketing will ensure that fares are more flexible and cheaper off\-peak fares will be introduced including fare reductions in North Wales and at approximately 50 per cent of stations in the valleys.  
   
Part of the new contract includes the delivery of the next phase of the £738million South Wales Metro project, and the first £119m of that was announced by First Minister Carwyn Jones at the end of last week.  
  
Speaking at the ‘Metro and Me’ conference for business leaders today (Monday 8th October), Finance Secretary Mark Drakeford brought delegates up to speed on developments, saying:


> “Our plans go beyond a traditional transport project. The Metro will deliver against a range of our policy objectives by creating a network that will serve communities, accessible to all and operating seven days a week.
> 
> It will increase social mobility and widen access, connecting people and communities to employment opportunities, and education, health and leisure facilities.”

Bydd rhai o'r gwelliannau, fydd yn gweddnewid gwasanaethau trenau i bobl a chymunedau ledled Cymru a'r gororau, yn digwydd ar unwaith, gan gynnwys gwefan ac app newydd i gwsmeriaid, brandio newydd ar y rhwydwaith a gwella'r gwasanaethau Cymraeg.

Meddai Ken Skates:  



> "Nid prosiect trafnidiaeth traddodiadol mo'n cynlluniau ni \- nhw fydd y gwreichionyn fydd yn tanio adfywiad economaidd ehangach. Rhaid iddyn nhw helpu unigolion, busnesau a chymunedau y mae angen system trafnidiaeth integredig a dibynadwy arnynt i'w helpu i ddod o hyd i swyddi newydd, i helpu eu busnesau i ehangu ac i ddenu buddsoddiad newydd i'w trefi.
> 
> Mae prosiect y Metro yn golygu mwy na delio â phroblemau teithio heddiw.  Rhaid iddo greu cyfleoedd ar gyfer y dyfodol \- nid o safbwynt trafnidiaeth yn unig, ond o ran effaith seilwaith y Metro ar y posibiliadau economaidd i bobl ledled y De."

Bydd contract rheilffordd newydd Cymru a'r Gororau yn dod â manteision eraill hefyd:

* Caiff 600 o staff newydd eu recriwtio i ddarparu'r gwasanaeth mewn amrywiaeth o rolau a chaiff 450 o brentisiaid newydd (30 bob blwyddyn) eu cyflogi hefyd dros oes y contract.
* Caiff £1\.9bn ei fuddsoddi i wella profiadau teithwyr ar y trenau, gan gynnwys buddsoddiad o £800 miliwn mewn trenau, gan roi hwb o 65% yng nghapasiti'r gwasanaeth.
* Erbyn 2023, bydd 95 y cant o'r teithiau'n cael eu gwneud ar 148 o drenau newydd sbon, gyda thros eu hanner yn cael eu hadeiladu yng Nghymru.
* Bydd 100 y cant o’r Metro Canolog yn rhedeg ar drydan, gyda 100 y cant o'r trydan hwnnw'n dod o ffynonellau adnewyddadwy, a 50 y cant o'r trydan hwnnw'n dod o Gymru.
* Erbyn diwedd 2023, bydd teithwyr yn gallu elwa ar 285 o wasanaethau ychwanegol bob dydd o'r wythnos waith ledled Cymru (cynnydd o 29%). Bydd y rheini'n cynnwys gwelliannau i linellau Glyn Ebwy a Wrecsam\-Bidston ac i linellau Cambria a Chalon Cymru.
* O fis Rhagfyr 2022, bydd yna gynnydd o 28 y cant ym mhellter gwasanaethau dydd Sul, gan greu gwasanaeth saith niwrnod yr wythnos.

Bydd tocynnau clyfar yn sicrhau tocynnau mwy hyblyg a chaiff tocynnau rhatach ar yr adegau llai prysur eu cyflwyno, gan gynnwys tocynnau rhatach yn y Gogledd ac yn rhyw 50 y cant o orsafoedd y Cymoedd.  
  
Bydd rhan o'r contract newydd yn cynnwys darparu cam nesa' prosiect £738miliwn Metro'r De a chyhoeddwyd £119m cyntaf hwnnw gan y Prif Weinidog, Carwyn Jones, wythnos ddiwethaf.

Wrth annerch y gynhadledd 'Y Metro a Fi' heddiw ar gyfer arweinwyr byd busnes (Llun, 8 Hydref), cafodd y cynrychiolwyr wybod y diweddaraf gan yr Ysgrifennydd Cyllid, Mark Drakeford gydag e'n dweud:


> "Mae'n cynlluniau'n fwy na phrosiect trafnidiaeth traddodiadol. Bydd y Metro'n gwireddu nifer o'n hamcanion polisi trwy greu rhwydwaith fydd yn gwasanaethu cymunedau, fydd yn hygyrch i bawb ac yn gweithio saith niwrnod yr wythnos.
> 
> Bydd yn cynyddu mudoledd cymdeithasol ac yn cynyddu mynediad, gan gysylltu pobl a chymunedau â chyfleoedd gwaith a chyfleusterau addysg, iechyd a hamdden."
