English: Well, Minister, I agree with the Member for Newport West that we need action not options, because we know that this is a really serious problem, and there are many things that are going to concentrate our minds, not least the landmark inquest into the death of Ella Kissi-Debrah, which may well find that air pollution was the main cause of her death. And we have similar illegal levels of air pollution in my constituency, and that is why we really do need to get on with providing serious alternatives to the motorcar for everyday commutes to school and to work. I absolutely am signed up to the Burns route. I have long suggested that one of the keys to alleviating this congestion that's currently going by road is the four train lines between Cardiff and Newport and beyond. And, therefore, I want to focus my remarks on how we are going to get that spine of the Burns proposals, progress made on that now. I appreciate that you're hoping that Sir Peter Hendy's connectivity review is going to unlock the current totally unfair way of funding transport across the United Kingdom. Let us remind ourselves that we're going to get nothing from the £2 billion to be invested in HS2, even though it's going to actually have a detrimental effect on the economy of Wales. We'll get nothing to improve our rail lines from that, so that needs to change. But we really can't wait until the Hendy report to be talking to Network Rail about what we could be doing now to release two of those four train lines to ensure that we can make serious progress already, building on St Mellons and Llanwern and the other local stations. Because the conversations you're having with Julie James about not allowing people to build housing in areas that aren't connected are long-term proposals, but I think we need to do things now in order to ensure that people realise that we are doing something about (a) this congestion, and (b) tackling climate change by getting people out of their cars. So, I wonder if you can say what conversations you've had with Network Rail on this. I appreciate that money is involved, but it's not of the same complexity as trying to free up land to create branch lines, et cetera.
Welsh: Wel, Gweinidog, cytunaf â'r Aelod dros Orllewin Casnewydd fod angen gweithredu arnom ni, nid posibiliadau, oherwydd gwyddom fod hon yn broblem wirioneddol ddifrifol, ac mae llawer o bethau fydd yn mynd â'n sylw, yn enwedig y cwest nodedig i farwolaeth Ella Kissi-Debrah, a allai ganfod mai llygredd aer oedd prif achos ei marwolaeth. Ac mae gennym ni lefelau anghyfreithlon tebyg o lygredd aer yn fy etholaeth i, a dyna pam mae gwir angen inni fwrw ymlaen â darparu dewisiadau amgen difrifol i'r car modur ar gyfer cymudo bob dydd i'r ysgol ac i'r gwaith Rwyf wedi ymrwymo'n llwyr i lwybr Burns. Rwyf wedi awgrymu ers tro mai un o'r allweddi i liniaru'r tagfeydd hyn ar y ffordd ar hyn o bryd yw'r pedair rheilffordd rhwng Caerdydd a Chasnewydd a thu hwnt. Ac, felly, hoffwn ganolbwyntio yn fy sylwadau ynglŷn â sut y cawn ni'r cynnydd hwnnw nawr ar yr agweddau canolog hynny o gynigion Burns. Rwy'n sylweddoli eich bod yn gobeithio y bydd adolygiad syr Peter Hendy o gysylltedd yn rhoi terfyn ar y ffordd gwbl annheg bresennol o ariannu trafnidiaeth ledled y Deyrnas Unedig. Gadewch inni atgoffa ein hunain na fyddwn yn cael dim o'r £2 biliwn sydd i'w fuddsoddi yn HS2, er y bydd yn cael effaith andwyol ar economi Cymru. Ni fyddwn yn cael dim i wella ein rheilffyrdd o hynny, felly mae angen i hynny newid. Ond ni allwn ni aros tan adroddiad Hendy i siarad â Network Rail am yr hyn y gallem ni fod yn ei wneud nawr i ryddhau dwy o'r pedair rheilffordd hynny i sicrhau y gallwn ni wneud cynnydd sylweddol yn barod, gan adeiladu ar Laneirwg a Llanwern a'r gorsafoedd lleol eraill. Oherwydd mae'r sgyrsiau yr ydych chi'n eu cael gyda Julie James ynglŷn â pheidio â chaniatáu i bobl adeiladu tai mewn ardaloedd nad ydynt wedi'u cysylltu yn gynigion hirdymor, ond rwy'n credu bod angen i ni wneud pethau nawr er mwyn sicrhau bod pobl yn sylweddoli ein bod yn gwneud rhywbeth ynghylch (a) y tagfeydd hyn, a (b) yn mynd i'r afael â newid yn yr hinsawdd drwy gael pobl allan o'u ceir. Felly, tybed a allwch chi ddweud pa sgyrsiau yr ydych chi wedi'u cael gyda Network Rail ynglŷn â hyn. Rwy'n sylweddoli bod a wnelo hyn ag arian, ond nid yw o'r un cymhlethdod â cheisio rhyddhau tir i greu llinellau cangen, ac ati.
