English: Can I thank David Rowlands for his questions and again for his support for the decisions taken by the Welsh Government? I really do welcome his comments, and I would agree with David Rowlands that 2,500 people feel far more secure now in their jobs, and we look forward to working with those dedicated and committed members of staff in improving services across the Wales and borders areas in the years to come. In terms of the upgrade to infrastructure, and principally to the metro programme, well, work started on the metro transformation over the summer and it will continue as planned, uninterrupted by these changes. There will be no effect in terms of the new operating model; we will proceed as planned. But it should also be said, Llywydd, that that might not have been the case had we experienced an unmanaged exit from the contract, had we seen a catastrophic collapse. Then, we would, I am absolutely certain, have seen a significant delay in the delivery of the metro upgrades, and that, of course, would have had implications; it would have had challenges in terms of the draw-down of European funds. So, this isn't just a necessary step to provide the security for workers and for customers; this is also a necessary step to secure the metro and the time frame for delivering the metro. In terms of the delivery of improvements and the delivery of the infrastructure that David Rowlands has questioned whether I'm confident that we have the expertise, that we have the capacity and the capability to be able to do that, well, the beauty of what we've been able to agree with Keolis and with Amey is that whilst we'll be taking the operation and management of rail services into public control, we are still going to be retaining their expertise in terms of being able to deliver the metro and to be able to deliver improvements in rail services, and as I've already said, in terms of integration and in terms of establishing a fairer and integrated fare regime.
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i David Rowlands am ei gwestiynau ac eto am ei gefnogaeth i'r penderfyniadau a wnaed gan Lywodraeth Cymru? Rwy'n croesawu ei sylwadau'n fawr, a byddwn i'n cytuno â David Rowlands fod 2,500 o bobl yn teimlo'n llawer mwy diogel yn eu swyddi nawr, ac edrychwn ymlaen at weithio gyda'r aelodau staff ymroddedig hynny i wella gwasanaethau ledled Cymru ac ardaloedd y gororau yn y blynyddoedd i ddod. O ran uwchraddio seilwaith, ac yn bennaf uwchraddio rhaglen y metro, wel, dechreuodd y gwaith ar drawsnewid y metro dros yr haf a bydd yn parhau yn ôl y bwriad, yn ddi-dor er gwaethaf y newidiadau hyn. Ni fydd unrhyw effaith o ran y model gweithredu newydd; byddwn yn bwrw ymlaen yn ôl y bwriad. Ond dylid dweud hefyd, Llywydd, efallai na fyddai hynny wedi digwydd pe baem wedi gadael y contract heb i'r broses gael ei rheoli, pe baem wedi gweld cwymp trychinebus. Yna, byddem, rwy'n gwbl sicr, wedi gweld oedi sylweddol wrth gyflawni'r gwaith o uwchraddio'r metro, a byddai hynny, wrth gwrs, wedi creu goblygiadau; byddai wedi wynebu heriau o ran sicrhau arian Ewropeaidd. Felly, nid cam angenrheidiol yw hwn i ddarparu'r sicrwydd i weithwyr ac i gwsmeriaid yn unig; mae hwn hefyd yn gam angenrheidiol i sicrhau'r metro a'r amserlen ar gyfer cyflawni'r metro. O ran cyflawni gwelliannau a chyflawni'r seilwaith y mae David Rowlands wedi amau a wyf yn ffyddiog bod gennym yr arbenigedd, bod gennym y capasiti a'r gallu i gyflawni hynny, wel, gogoniant yr hyn yr ydym ni wedi ei gytuno â Keolis ac ag Amey yw, er y byddwn yn rhoi'r gwaith o weithredu a rheoli gwasanaethau rheilffyrdd dan reolaeth gyhoeddus, byddwn yn dal i gadw eu harbenigedd o ran gallu cyflawni'r metro a gallu cyflawni gwelliannau mewn gwasanaethau rheilffyrdd, ac fel y dywedais eisoes, o ran integreiddio ac o ran sefydlu cyfundrefn brisiau decach ac integredig.
