English: Well, not only will I join you in welcoming the Crosskeys service, but, in fact, I am getting up at 6 o'clock on Monday morning in order to catch the Crosskeys railway service and to see it come into Newport, so I don't think my commitment can be questioned by anyone in the Chamber. It is a perfect example of what we've been able to do, even though rail infrastructure is not devolved to Wales - to step in where the UK Government has failed to make sure that the people of our communities are given the service they deserve. We were able to make a significant amount of money available this year to put investment forward into the extension towards Ebbw Vale. It does require action from the UK Government and Network Rail, and we are talking to them about speeding that up. I was very pleased to read in the report by Sir Peter Hendy in the 'Union Connectivity Review' the other week his recommendation: the UK Government do more to improve rail services into Wales and within Wales. He also significantly embraced the recommendations of the Burns review, to deal with congestion around Newport, and part of that involves investing in the Ebbw Vale rail link, and comprehensively rejected the suggestion of the Prime Minister that the UK Government should build an M4 over and above the heads of devolution, completely ignoring the democratic will of the people, and explicitly said that the public transport solution set out by the Welsh Government, through the South East Wales Transport Commission, was the right way ahead. So, I think the Welsh Conservatives should show a little humility in recognising that their own Government's report has rejected a call they've been loudly making in this Chamber, and I hope, together, we can move on and focus on public transport investment and looking at the UK Government playing its part in that.
Welsh: Wel, nid yn unig y byddaf yn ymuno â chi i groesawu gwasanaeth Crosskeys, ond mewn gwirionedd, rwy'n codi am 6 o'r gloch fore Llun er mwyn dal gwasanaeth rheilffordd Crosskeys a'i weld yn dod i mewn i Gasnewydd, felly nid wyf yn credu y gall unrhyw un yn y Siambr gwestiynu fy ymrwymiad. Mae'n enghraifft berffaith o'r hyn rydym wedi gallu ei wneud, er nad yw seilwaith rheilffyrdd wedi'i ddatganoli i Gymru - i gamu i'r adwy lle mae Llywodraeth y DU wedi methu sicrhau bod pobl ein cymunedau yn cael y gwasanaeth y maent yn ei haeddu. Rydym wedi gallu sicrhau bod swm sylweddol o arian ar gael eleni i fuddsoddi yn yr estyniad tuag at Lynebwy. Mae angen camau gweithredu gan Lywodraeth y DU a Network Rail, ac rydym yn siarad â hwy ynglŷn â chyflymu'r gwaith hwnnw. Roeddwn yn falch iawn o ddarllen argymhelliad Syr Peter Hendy yn ei adroddiad yn yr 'Adolygiad o Gysylltedd yr Undeb' yr wythnos o'r blaen: mae Llywodraeth y DU yn gwneud mwy i wella gwasanaethau rheilffyrdd i mewn i Gymru ac yng Nghymru. Roedd hefyd yn llwyr groesawu argymhellion adolygiad Burns, i ymdrin â thagfeydd o amgylch Casnewydd, ac mae rhan o hynny'n golygu buddsoddi yng nghyswllt rheilffordd Glynebwy, a gwrthododd awgrym y Prif Weinidog y dylai Llywodraeth y DU adeiladu M4 a diystyru datganoli, gan anwybyddu ewyllys ddemocrataidd y bobl yn llwyr, a dywedodd yn benodol mai'r ateb i drafnidiaeth gyhoeddus a nodwyd gan Lywodraeth Cymru, drwy Gomisiwn Trafnidiaeth De-ddwyrain Cymru, oedd y ffordd gywir ymlaen. Felly, credaf y dylai'r Ceidwadwyr Cymreig ddangos ychydig o wyleidd-dra wrth gydnabod bod adroddiad eu Llywodraeth eu hunain wedi gwrthod galwad y maent wedi bod yn ei gwneud yn y Siambr hon, ac rwy'n gobeithio, gyda'n gilydd, y gallwn symud ymlaen a chanolbwyntio ar fuddsoddi mewn trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus a disgwyl i Lywodraeth y DU chwarae ei rhan yn hynny.
