English: Thank you, Cabinet Secretary, for setting out the threats and the opportunities that face Wales, and also for appointing Mark Barry, who is a fantastic enthusiast of public transport and therefore, I think, will be a great bonus to setting out our stall. But, clearly, we don't hold all the levers. One of the big concerns of some of my constituents is the rise and rise of rail fares, which far outweighs the rise in wages. For those who need to travel outside Wales for work, it is quite punitive, what is being charged. If it was that the massive price increases were then being reflected in increased investment in carriages and extra Wi-Fi and more trains, that would, I'm sure, be accepted, but the fact is that that's not what is happening. We do have an enormous challenge in that our UK Government is so south-east England-focused. If they'd started HS2 in Manchester, rather than in the south-east, you might be convinced that they were beginning to look at a transport system that covered the whole of the UK, but, clearly, that's not about to happen. One of the big issues for my constituents is the necessary upgrading of Cardiff Central station, which is quickly going to have insufficient capacity to manage the increased number of trains that people want us to be delivering. That is something that we can't do unless the UK Government gives GWR or Network Rail money to do something about it. So, I fear it's a good illustration of how dependent we are on the largesse of the UK Government. I do recall that when Chris Grayling cancelled the Swansea electrification, he immediately started talking about all the things that he might do with the money to go to south-west England, which is just disgraceful. So, we absolutely have to have a fit-for-purpose rail and bus link, and I look forward to the day in which we have these joined up together.
Welsh: Diolch ichi, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, am nodi'r bygythiadau a'r cyfleoedd sy'n wynebu Cymru, a hefyd am benodi Mark Barry, sydd yn frwd iawn o blaid trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus ac felly, credaf, bydd o fudd mawr i nodi ein safbwynt. Ond, yn amlwg, nid yw'r holl ysgogiadau gennym ni. Un o bryderon mawr rhai o'm hetholwyr yw codiad cynyddol prisiau tocynnau trên, sy'n llawer mwy na'r cynnydd mewn cyflogau. Ar gyfer y rhai sydd angen teithio y tu allan i Gymru ar gyfer gwaith, mae'n dipyn o gosb, yr hyn a godir. Pe byddai'r cynnydd mewn prisiau yn cael ei adlewyrchu wedyn mewn buddsoddi cynyddol mewn cerbydau a Wi-Fi ychwanegol a mwy o drenau, byddai, rwy'n siŵr, wedi'i dderbyn, ond y ffaith yw nad dyna beth sy'n digwydd. Mae gennym her anferth yn y ffaith bod ein Llywodraeth y DU yn canolbwyntio cymaint ar dde-ddwyrain Lloegr. Pe byddent wedi dechrau HS2 ym Manceinion, yn hytrach nag yn y de-ddwyrain, efallai y byddech yn argyhoeddedig eu bod yn dechrau edrych ar system drafnidiaeth sy'n cynnwys y DU gyfan, ond, yn amlwg, nid yw hynny am ddigwydd. Un o'r materion mawr i'm hetholwyr yw'r uwchraddio angenrheidiol ar orsaf Caerdydd Canolog, a fydd yn fuan heb ddigon o gapasiti i reoli'r nifer cynyddol o drenau y mae pobl am inni eu darparu. Mae hynny'n rhywbeth na allwn ni ei wneud oni bai bod Llywodraeth y DU yn rhoi arian i GWR neu Network Rail i wneud rhywbeth yn ei gylch. Felly, mae arnaf ofn ei bod yn enghraifft dda o pa mor ddibynnol yr ydym ni ar haelioni Llywodraeth y DU. Rwy'n cofio pan wnaeth Chris Grayling ganslo trydaneiddio Abertawe, ar unwaith dechreuodd siarad am y pethau y gallai ef ei wneud gyda'r arian i fynd i dde-orllewin Lloegr, sy'n warthus. Felly, mae'n rhaid cael cyswllt rheilffyrdd a bws addas ar gyfer y diben, ac rwy'n edrych ymlaen at y diwrnod y mae'r rhain gennym wedi'u hymuno â'i gilydd.
