English: Can I thank the Member for his questions and his contribution? I think it's fair to say that his message was somewhat inconsistent with the message given earlier from the leader of his party, in terms of welcoming the franchise agreement. I should just point out that the new arrangements were described earlier this afternoon by the leader of Plaid Cymru as 'second rate'. It's clear that the position of Plaid Cymru, with regard to letting this franchise, is such that they would have been in no other position, were they in power, other than to continue with the current franchise arrangements, because it is simply - [ Interruption. ] Because it is simply not possible to ensure that a public body is able to run the current rail network as it stands in law. We tried to change that law, as every party recognises. It could have been the case - a not-for-profit organisation could have won the contract if they had bid, but none did, and we clearly would still prefer nationalisation. However, within the straitjacket in which we operate, we believe that this is, by far, the best deal that could have been struck. Indeed, Members of Plaid Cymru signed up to a report not long ago that stated that, if we were to reach the point that we're at today, we would have achieved heroic ambition. We've done that, and in having that position - one that is so intransigent as to not recognise that we need to be pragmatic with regard to the award of the rail franchise - it suggests that the only way forward for Plaid Cymru would have been to continue with the current arrangements, and the price of that would have been enormous: 16 per cent higher in terms of subsidies. So, the price that Plaid would have paid over the course of 15 years would have amounted to more than £300 million in addition: 16 per cent more. We're going to save 16 per cent as a consequence of the agreement that we've reached, and there would have been a continuation of the poor services that Members have already highlighted and, of course, the accumulation, annually, of profits of more than £28 million. That's a fact, if you'd continued with the current arrangements, and that's the only place you could have gone to, based on your current argument. If Plaid Cymru can't welcome our having delivered what their own Members described as a heroic ambition, then surely - surely - there should be some recognition of the enormous benefits that will come to Wales as a consequence of this new franchise: £800 million more on rolling stock; £194 million more on stations; half-price tickets for 16 to 18-year-olds; half of the trains built in Wales. I think it's time to just recognise that, sometimes, we do deliver. We do deliver and we have done. We have delivered an excellent franchise arrangement for the people of Wales. Profits were raised as an issue earlier, and by the Member now. The profit of 3 per cent was mentioned earlier, and 2.9 per cent. Well, if you look at what Arriva have been making in terms of profits: pre-tax profits in recent times have reached as much as 18.6 per cent; post-tax profits, 6.9 per cent; dividends of £20 million being paid to the parent company; just £3 million invested in - [ Interruption.] We did not sign that contract. That was not a Labour - . That was a non-departmental public body. They got it wrong. They got it wrong, and I'm on record on numerous occasions saying that they got it wrong. I wish those on that side of the Chamber would admit that they've been quick to criticise the way that we've gone about procuring this exercise on numerous occasions, but now is the time to be contrite because we have got it right for the people of Wales. And in terms of the operator and development partner making a profit, well, it's interesting, because Keolis and Amey both have excellent track records in delivery. If you look at customer satisfaction, actually the two best performing networks at the moment in the UK, in terms of customer satisfaction, are the docklands light railway and the Manchester metro system - both operated by Keolis. And in terms of Amey: an excellent track record, as the Member should know, because one of the organisations that they work for is the Plaid-run Isle of Anglesey council. In terms of quality, and the Member is absolutely right to say that it's all about the quality of provision - I'll forgive him for not having read all of the brief, because there is a substantial amount of information in there - but he said that people will have to ride on rusting rolling stock that we have now. The statement said that every train is going to be replaced, and that 95 per cent of all passenger journeys will be based on brand-new rolling stock by 2023. [ Interruption.] No, the Member said we will still be operating rusting rolling stock that we have now. [ Interruption.] No.
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i'r Aelod am ei gwestiynau ac am ei gyfraniad? Rwy'n credu ei bod hi'n deg dweud bod ei neges yn anghyson braidd â'r neges a roddwyd yn gynharach gan arweinydd ei blaid, o ran croesawu'r cytundeb masnachfraint. Dylwn nodi bod arweinydd Plaid Cymru wedi disgrifio'r trefniadau newydd yn gynharach y prynhawn yma yn rhai 'eilradd'. Mae'n amlwg mai sefyllfa Plaid Cymru, o ran gosod y fasnachfraint hon, yw na fydden nhw wedi bod mewn unrhyw sefyllfa, pe baen nhw mewn grym, i wneud dim ond parhau â'r trefniadau masnachfraint presennol, oherwydd yn syml - [ Torri ar draws.] Oherwydd yn syml nid yw'n bosibl sicrhau bod corff cyhoeddus yn gallu cynnal y rhwydwaith rheilffyrdd presennol yn ôl y gyfraith. Rydym ni wedi ceisio newid y gyfraith honno, fel y mae pob plaid yn ei gydnabod. Gallai fod wedi digwydd - gallai mudiad nid-er-elw fod wedi ennill y contract pe baen nhw wedi gwneud cynnig, ond ni ddigwyddodd hynny, ac yn amlwg byddai gwladoli'n dal i fod yn well gennym. Fodd bynnag, o fewn y cyfyngiadau yr ydym yn gweithredu oddi mewn iddynt, rydym ni'n credu mai hon, o bell ffordd, oedd y fargen orau y gellid bod wedi ei tharo. Yn wir, ymrwymodd Aelodau Plaid Cymru i adroddiad yn ddiweddar a oedd yn dweud, pe baem ni yn cyrraedd y pwynt lle'r ydym ni heddiw, y byddem ni wedi cyflawni uchelgais arwrol. Rydym ni wedi gwneud hynny, ac o fod â'r safbwynt hwnnw - un sydd mor ddi-ildio nes nad ydynt yn cydnabod bod angen inni fod yn bragmatig o ran dyfarnu'r fasnachfraint rheilffyrdd - mae'n awgrymu mai'r unig ffordd ymlaen i Blaid Cymru fyddai wedi bod i barhau gyda'r trefniadau presennol, a byddai pris hynny wedi bod yn enfawr: 16 y cant yn uwch o ran cymorthdaliadau. Felly, byddai Plaid, dros 15 mlynedd, wedi talu pris sy'n cyfateb i fwy na £300 miliwn ychwanegol: 16 y cant yn fwy. Rydym ni'n mynd i arbed 16 y cant o ganlyniad i'r cytundeb yr ydym ni wedi'i daro, a byddai'r gwasanaethau gwael y mae Aelodau eisoes wedi sôn amdanynt wedi parhau ac, wrth gwrs, bydd dros £28 miliwn o elw yn cronni bob blwyddyn. Mae hynny'n ffaith, pe baech chi wedi parhau gyda'r trefniadau presennol, a dyna'r unig beth y gallech fod wedi ei wneud, yn seiliedig ar eich dadl bresennol. Os na all Plaid Cymru groesawu'r ffaith ein bod wedi cyflawni'r hyn a ddisgrifiodd eu Haelodau eu hunain yn uchelgais arwrol, yna does bosib - does bosib - na ddylai fod rhyw gydnabyddiaeth o'r manteision enfawr a ddaw i Gymru o ganlyniad i'r fasnachfraint newydd hon: £800 miliwn yn fwy ar gerbydau; £194 miliwn yn fwy ar orsafoedd; tocynnau hanner pris i bobl ifanc 16 i 18 mlwydd oed; hanner y trenau'n cael eu hadeiladu yng Nghymru. Rwy'n meddwl ei bod hi'n bryd cydnabod ein bod, weithiau, yn llwyddo. Rydym ni yn llwyddo ac rydym ni wedi llwyddo. Rydym ni wedi llwyddo i gyflawni trefniant masnachfraint ardderchog ar gyfer pobl Cymru. Codwyd elw fel mater yn gynharach, a gan yr Aelod nawr. Roedd sôn am elw o 3 y cant yn gynharach, a 2.9 y cant. Wel, os edrychwch chi ar yr hyn y mae Arriva wedi bod yn ei wneud o ran elw: mae'r elw cyn treth yn ddiweddar wedi cyrraedd cymaint â 18.6 y cant; elw ar ôl treth, 6.9 y cant; talu difidendau o £20 miliwn i'r rhiant gwmni; buddsoddi dim ond £3 miliwn mewn - [ Torri ar draws.] Nid ni a lofnododd y contract hwnnw. Nid Llafur - . Corff cyhoeddus anadrannol oedd hwnnw. Gwnaethant gamgymeriad. Gwnaethant gamgymeriad, ac rwyf ar goedd droeon yn dweud eu bod wedi gwneud camgymeriad. Hoffwn pe bai'r rheini ar yr ochr honno i'r Siambr yn cyfaddef eu bod wedi bod yn barod iawn i feirniadu'r ffordd yr ydym ni wedi mynd ati i gaffael yr ymarfer hwn ar sawl achlysur, ond nawr yw'r amser i edifarhau oherwydd rydym ni wedi cyflawni hyn dros bobl Cymru. Ac o ran y gweithredwr a'r partner datblygu'n gwneud elw, wel, mae'n ddiddorol, oherwydd mae gan Keolis ac Amey ill dau hanes rhagorol o ran cyflawni. Os edrychwch chi ar fodlonrwydd cwsmeriaid, yn wir, y ddau rwydwaith sy'n perfformio orau ar hyn o bryd yn y DU, o ran boddhad cwsmeriaid, yw rheilffordd ysgafn y dociau a system fetro Manceinion - Keolis sy'n gweithredu'r ddau. Ac o ran Amey: hanes rhagorol, fel y dylai'r Aelod wybod, oherwydd un o'r sefydliadau y maent yn gweithio iddynt yw Cyngor Ynys Môn o dan reolaeth Plaid. O ran ansawdd, ac mae'r Aelod yn hollol gywir i ddweud bod ansawdd y ddarpariaeth yn hollbwysig - gwnaf faddau iddo am beidio â bod wedi darllen y briff i gyd, oherwydd mae llawer iawn o wybodaeth yno - ond dywedodd y bydd yn rhaid i bobl deithio ar y cerbydau rhydlyd sydd gennym ni nawr. Roedd y datganiad yn dweud bod pob trên yn mynd i gael ei ddisodli, ac y bydd 95 y cant o'r holl deithiau teithwyr yn cael eu gwneud ar gerbydau newydd sbon erbyn 2023. [ Torri ar draws.] Na, dywedodd yr Aelod y byddwn yn dal i weithredu cerbydau rhydlyd sydd gennym nawr. [ Torri ar draws.] Na.
