English: Well, there are a number of important points that the Member has raised, and, of course, some of the problems that have recently been highlighted could be avoided if we could have responsibility, powers, and a fair settlement devolved to Wales, so that we can ensure that the needs of passengers are met in the full. Now, it's up to Arriva Trains Wales to appropriately manage capacity on the current franchise terms, but we have also provided additional rolling stock to Arriva Trains Wales to assist in overcrowding on many lines, including those that the Member has identified. Whilst there is a very limited diesel rolling stock currently available, we are in dialogue with the rail industry at the moment, to try to identify solutions that could deliver additional capacity in the short term. Now, the majority of routes and services within the Wales and borders franchise, including the Valleys lines, are dependent upon the £180 million Welsh Government support every year, in terms of franchise subsidy payments and funding for additional services and rolling stock. Arriva Trains Wales lease the vast majority of rolling stock used on Wales and borders services from two privately owned rolling stock leasing companies. And I understand that four of the pacer trains used predominantly on the Valleys lines are owned by local authorities in south Wales. Now, the Member will know from the statement that's been issued today by me that, with the new competitive dialogue taking place with the four bidders for the next round of the franchise, fresh criteria will be put in place that enables growth in terms of passenger numbers to be met, by an increase in the amount of rolling stock that's available, and not just in terms of quality, but also vast improvements in terms of the quality of rolling stock.
Welsh: Wel, mae yna nifer o bwyntiau pwysig y mae'r Aelod wedi'u codi, ac wrth gwrs, gellid osgoi rhai o'r problemau sydd wedi cael eu hamlygu'n ddiweddar pe gallem gael cyfrifoldeb, pwerau, a setliad teg wedi'i ddatganoli i Gymru, er mwyn i ni allu sicrhau bod anghenion teithwyr yn cael eu diwallu'n llwyr. Nawr, cyfrifoldeb Trenau Arriva Cymru yw rheoli capasiti telerau'r fasnachfraint gyfredol yn briodol, ond rydym hefyd wedi darparu cerbydau ychwanegol i Trenau Arriva Cymru i gynorthwyo gyda'r gorlenwi sydd ar nifer o reilffyrdd, gan gynnwys y rhai y mae'r Aelod wedi'u nodi. Er mai nifer gyfyngedig iawn o gerbydau diesel sydd ar gael ar hyn o bryd, rydym wrthi'n trafod gyda'r diwydiant rheilffyrdd i geisio dod o hyd i atebion a allai ddarparu capasiti ychwanegol yn y tymor byr. Nawr, mae'r rhan fwyaf o'r llwybrau a'r gwasanaethau ym masnachfraint Cymru a'r Gororau, yn cynnwys rheilffyrdd y Cymoedd, yn ddibynnol ar gymorth o £180 miliwn gan Lywodraeth Cymru bob blwyddyn, o ran cymorthdaliadau'r fasnachfraint a chyllid ar gyfer gwasanaethau a cherbydau ychwanegol. Mae Trenau Arriva Cymru yn prydlesu'r mwyafrif helaeth o gerbydau a ddefnyddir yng ngwasanaethau Cymru a'r Gororau gan ddau gwmni preifat sy'n prydlesu cerbydau. Ac rwy'n deall bod pedwar o'r trenau Pacer, a ddefnyddir yn bennaf ar reilffyrdd y Cymoedd, yn eiddo i awdurdodau lleol yn ne Cymru. Nawr, fel y bydd yr Aelod yn gwybod o'r datganiad a gyhoeddais heddiw, gyda'r ddeialog gystadleuol newydd rhwng y pedwar cynigydd ar gyfer rownd nesaf y fasnachfraint, bydd meini prawf newydd yn cael eu rhoi ar waith i alluogi twf o ran nifer y teithwyr sydd i'w cludo drwy gynyddu nifer y cerbydau sydd ar gael, nid yn unig o ran ansawdd, ond hefyd gwelliannau helaeth o ran ansawdd y cerbydau.
