English: Can I thank the Member for his questions and for welcoming the announcement that took place yesterday, and the details of the new Wales and borders franchise? We made sure through the scoring process of the procurement exercise that everybody in all parts of Wales and, indeed, the borders area, benefited from the new franchise arrangements. The scoring system was such that it ensured that the bidders were keen to demonstrate how they were going to bring transformative change to all parts of the Wales and borders area. I think the Member is right to highlight the importance of a number of very significant issues that have been highlighted in recent times, including accessibility and toilets. I can confirm that every toilet on all of the trains will be PRM compliant by the time that they need to be. It's absolutely essential that lower emission PRM toilets are incorporated on all of the trains that will be operating and the ODP has given a very, very clear guarantee that that will happen. The First Minister earlier stated that £15 million will be made available for accessibility at stations across Wales for people who are of limited mobility. There are a number of stations that I know of personally, including my own station of Ruabon, that do not have step-free access, or additional access to step-only access. That will be resolved in the coming franchise arrangements. Every station within the metro area will also be step-free accessible. And in terms of toilets, there will be additional toilets on stations within the metro network to ensure that, for the solution within the core Valleys lines network, no passenger will have to wait more than 14 minutes in order to gain access to a universal access toilet. The Member raises other important points regarding procurement opportunities for SMEs. We're in the process at the moment of engaging as many Welsh-based companies and borderland companies as possible in the process of identifying infrastructure development partner opportunities to ensure that we capture maximum opportunity for Welsh-based companies. In addition, Transport for Wales, of course, has been set up as a not-for profit-organisation. In the future, it's our anticipation that Transport for Wales will be able to let additional services on a not-for-profit basis to more Welsh companies, and it's also our expectation in the future that Transport for Wales will be able to take on additional responsibilities for other forms of transport management and infrastructure delivery - again being able, in doing so, to award more contracts for Welsh SMEs. In terms of the work that the operation and development partner will be undertaking with Network Rail, there will be collaborative work taking place with Network Rail, but it will also be on the basis of work being undertaken on a collaborative basis with Transport for Wales as well. I'm pleased that Wales will be represented on the Network Rail national board by a member from Wales itself, ensuring that Wales has a voice on the Network Rail board. I think everybody would acknowledge in the Chamber that, in recent times, the Welsh rail network has not received the sort of infrastructure funding that it should rightly expect. I hope that in the next round, the next control period, that will be addressed, and certainly having Welsh representation on the board at Network Rail will be of assistance. In terms of the roll-out of new technology, KeolisAmey have designed the roll-out of improved Wi-Fi, the installation of new masts, in line with our Superfast Cymru and mobile interventions to ensure that they don't duplicate them, but instead that we have seamless pathways from train to station to train in terms of Wi-Fi. I'm confident that given the investment that KeolisAmey are looking at placing within new and emerging technologies we will be able to see every train providing free access to Wi-Fi in the coming years. This will be a transformational franchise arrangement, and I'm keen to ensure that we maximise opportunities, not just for the businesses of today but also for new businesses who will be able to look at opportunities where there are new stations. Now, one of the key benefits for many rural communities of this franchise agreement is the promise that has been made to invest in station buildings and in the landscaping of stations and in bringing stations back into use where they are currently not in use, and that could provide huge opportunities, particularly in rural communities, for new business start-ups at stations. I think many of us could point to a huge number of stations within the 247 station slab that exists on the Wales and borders network where there are opportunities to open up space to new businesses, whether it be in retail, whether it be in hospitality, whether it be in business design or creative industries. There are huge opportunities, and I'm particularly pleased to see a strong focus by the operator and development partner on that potential business area.
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i'r Aelod am ei gwestiynau ac am groesawu'r cyhoeddiad a wnaethpwyd ddoe, ynghyd â manylion masnachfraint newydd Cymru a'r gororau? Gwnaethom yn siŵr drwy broses sgorio'r ymarfer caffael bod pawb ym mhob rhan o Gymru ac, yn wir, yn ardal y gororau, yn elwa o'r trefniadau masnachfraint newydd. Roedd y system sgorio yn sicrhau bod y cynigwyr yn awyddus i ddangos sut yr oeddent yn mynd i drawsnewid pob rhan o ardal Cymru a'r gororau. Rwy'n credu bod yr Aelod yn iawn i dynnu sylw at bwysigrwydd nifer o faterion pwysig iawn a amlygwyd yn ddiweddar, gan gynnwys hygyrchedd a thoiledau. Gallaf gadarnhau y bydd pob toiled ar bob trên yn cydymffurfio â rheoliadau PRM erbyn yr amser gofynnol. Mae'n gwbl hanfodol bod toiledau PRM allyriadau is wedi'u cynnwys ar yr holl drenau a fydd yn gweithredu ac mae'r ODP wedi rhoi sicrwydd clir iawn, iawn y bydd hynny'n digwydd. Dywedodd y Prif Weinidog yn gynharach y bydd £15 miliwn ar gael ar gyfer hygyrchedd mewn gorsafoedd ledled Cymru ar gyfer pobl sydd ag anawsterau symud. Rwy'n gwybod yn bersonol am nifer o orsafoedd, gan gynnwys fy ngorsaf fy hun, Rhiwabon, lle nad oes mynediad heb risiau, neu fynediad ychwanegol i fynediad grisiau yn unig. Caiff hynny ei unioni yn y trefniadau masnachfraint sydd ar droed. Bydd pob gorsaf yn ardal y metro hefyd yn hygyrch heb risiau. Ac o ran toiledau, bydd toiledau ychwanegol ar orsafoedd o fewn y rhwydwaith metro i sicrhau, ar gyfer y datrysiad o fewn rhwydwaith craidd rheilffyrdd y Cymoedd, na fydd unrhyw deithiwr yn gorfod aros mwy na 14 munud cyn gallu defnyddio toiled mynediad cyffredinol. Mae'r Aelod yn codi pwyntiau pwysig eraill ynghylch cyfleoedd caffael i fusnesau bach a chanolig. Rydym yn y broses ar hyn o bryd o ymgysylltu â chynifer â phosibl o gwmnïau o Gymru a'r gororau yn y broses o ganfod cyfleoedd ar gyfer partneriaid datblygu seilwaith i sicrhau ein bod yn creu'r cyfle mwyaf posibl i gwmnïau o Gymru. Yn ogystal, mae Trafnidiaeth Cymru, wrth gwrs, wedi'i sefydlu yn fudiad dielw. Yn y dyfodol, ein disgwyliad yw y bydd Trafnidiaeth Cymru yn gallu gosod gwasanaethau ychwanegol ar sail nid-er-elw i fwy o gwmnïau Cymru, ac rydym hefyd yn disgwyl yn y dyfodol y bydd Trafnidiaeth Cymru yn gallu cymryd cyfrifoldebau ychwanegol dros fathau eraill o reoli trafnidiaeth a darparu seilwaith - ac eto'n gallu, wrth wneud hynny, dyfarnu mwy o gontractau i fusnesau bach a chanolig Cymru. O ran y gwaith y bydd y partner gweithredu a datblygu yn ei wneud gyda Network Rail, bydd gwaith ar y cyd yn digwydd gyda Network Rail, ond bydd hefyd ar sail gweithio ar y cyd â Thrafnidiaeth Cymru yn ogystal. Rwy'n falch y caiff Cymru ei chynrychioli ar fwrdd cenedlaethol Network Rail gan aelod o Gymru ei hun, sy'n sicrhau y bydd gan Gymru lais ar fwrdd Network Rail. Rwy'n credu y byddai pawb yn cydnabod yn y Siambr nad yw rhwydwaith rheilffyrdd Cymru, yn ddiweddar, wedi cael y math o ariannu seilwaith y byddai'n deg ei ddisgwyl. Rwy'n gobeithio yn y cylch nesaf, y cyfnod rheoli nesaf, y caiff hynny ei unioni, ac yn sicr bydd cynrychiolaeth o Gymru ar fwrdd Network Rail o gymorth. O ran cyflwyno technoleg newydd, mae KeolisAmey wedi cynllunio proses i gyflwyno gwell Wi-Fi, gosod mastiau newydd, yn unol â'n rhaglen Cyflymu Cymru a'n hymyriadau ffonau symudol i sicrhau nad ydynt yn eu dyblygu, ond yn hytrach bod gennym ni gyswllt di-dor o drên i orsaf i drên o ran Wi-Fi. Rwy'n hyderus o gofio'r buddsoddiad y mae KeolisAmey yn bwriadu ei wneud mewn technolegau newydd y byddwn yn gallu gweld pob trên yn darparu mynediad Wi-Fi am ddim yn y blynyddoedd i ddod. Bydd y trefniant hwn gan y fasnachfraint yn un trawsnewidiol, ac rwy'n awyddus i sicrhau ein bod yn cynyddu'r cyfleoedd, nid dim ond i fusnesau heddiw ond hefyd i fusnesau newydd a fydd yn gallu edrych ar gyfleoedd lle mae gorsafoedd newydd. Nawr, un o fanteision allweddol y cytundeb masnachfraint hwn i lawer o gymunedau gwledig yw'r addewid a wnaethpwyd i fuddsoddi mewn adeiladau gorsafoedd ac mewn tirlunio gorsafoedd ac mewn ailddechrau defnyddio gorsafoedd lle nad ydynt ar hyn o bryd yn cael eu defnyddio, a gallai hynny ddarparu cyfleoedd enfawr, yn enwedig mewn cymunedau gwledig, i fusnesau newydd mewn gorsafoedd. Rwy'n credu y gallai llawer ohonom ni gyfeirio at nifer enfawr o orsafoedd o fewn y slab gorsafoedd 247 sy'n bodoli ar rwydwaith Cymru a'r gororau lle ceir cyfleoedd i agor lle i fusnesau newydd, boed hynny ym maes adwerthu, boed mewn lletygarwch, boed mewn dylunio busnes neu'r diwydiannau creadigol. Mae cyfleoedd di-ri, ac rwy'n arbennig o falch o weld pwyslais cryf gan y gweithredwr a'r partner datblygu ar y maes busnes posibl hwnnw.
