English: Can I thank David Rowlands for his contribution, for his questions and for his observations? First of all, I should say that complaints concerning rail services are due to many factors, and whilst I would agree that many of those factors relate to the network, they also relate to the management of services as well, and I don't think poor performance should be attributed solely to responsibilities that could be passed on to Network Rail. That said, as I outlined in my statement, there is a serious problem with the creaking rail infrastructure in Wales, where we still have, in some parts, Victorian manual signalling, and where we have 200 road closures every single day because of road crossings, and this is simply not acceptable. So, whilst I take the point that complaints are, in part, due to rail infrastructure, I would also again reiterate the point that many complaints concern the actual management of services. In terms of HS2, well, the Member is right to highlight the extraordinary cost of HS2, but it is worth saying that, whilst the infrastructure itself will be purely located in England, it will also serve passengers, businesses and regional economies in Wales. I highlighted the figure earlier of the potential benefit of HS2 to the region's economies, particularly north Wales, where places like Flintshire could see an increase in output of more than £30 million; likewise Denbighshire. Wrexham could see an increase in output of more than £17 million; likewise places such as Conwy; and other parts of north Wales would also see - if the right solution is applied at Crewe - significant improvements in the performance of their respective economies. But it's also essential that we don't look at HS2 in isolation from other rail infrastructure. Whilst I remain supportive of HS2, I remain deeply concerned that a business case for a £30 million programme was given the go-ahead, and I would say that perhaps you wouldn't be given the go-ahead for a business case unless you were minded to ultimately approve a project, and that Crossrail 2 programme would consume a vast amount of investment for a region that has already benefited considerably from Crossrail 1 and many other service enhancements. So, it's absolutely vital we don't look at HS2 in isolation, but that we also reflect on the wider investment across the UK, which, sadly, as I've pointed out, has been all too often concentrated in the south-east. I think it's important to distinguish between the difference of views and opinions that I have with the Secretary of State concerning the re-mapping of services. He's not minded to agree with me on that. However, with regard to the infrastructure enhancements, the actual projects that he has identified himself are those that Professor Barry has been carrying out work on; and so, as a consequence, they are the most likely projects to get the go-ahead from the Department for Transport. I believe our role is in building the case for each of those projects to make it irresistible for UK Government to carry out the investment that we require.
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i David Rowlands am ei gyfraniad, am ei gwestiynnau ac am ei sylwadau? Yn gyntaf, fe ddylwn i ddweud bod cwynion ynglŷn â gwasanaethau rheilffordd oherwydd nifer o resymau, ac er y byddwn yn cytuno bod llawer o'r ffactorau hynny yn ymwneud â'r rhwydwaith, maent hefyd yn ymwneud â rheoli gwasanaethau, ac nid wyf yn meddwl y dylai perfformiad gwael gael ei briodoli i gyfrifoldebau y gellid eu trosglwyddo i Network Rail yn unig. Wedi dweud hynny, fel y nodais yn fy natganiad, mae problem ddifrifol â'r seilwaith rheilffyrdd, sy'n gwegian yng Nghymru, lle mae gennym ni o hyd, mewn rhai rhannau, signalau Fictoraidd â llaw, a lle mae gennym ni 200 o ffyrdd yn cau bob dydd oherwydd croesfannau ffordd, ac nid yw hyn yn dderbyniol. Felly, er fy mod yn derbyn bod y cwynion, yn rhannol, oherwydd y seilwaith rheilffyrdd, hoffwn ailadrodd hefyd fod nifer o gŵynion hefyd yn ymwneud â rheolaeth y gwasanaethau mewn gwirionedd. O ran HS2, wel, mae'r Aelod yn iawn i dynnu sylw at gost ryfeddol HS2, ond mae'n werth dweud, er y bydd y seilwaith ei hun wedi'i leoli yn Lloegr, bydd hefyd yn gwasanaethu teithwyr, busnesau ac economïau rhanbarthol yng Nghymru. Tynnais sylw at y ffigur yn gynharach o fudd posibl HS2 i economïau'r rhanbarth, yn enwedig y gogledd, lle gallai lleoedd fel Sir y Fflint weld cynnydd mewn allbwn o fwy na £30 miliwn; ac mae'r un peth yn wir am Sir Ddinbych. Gallai Wrecsam weld cynnydd mewn allbwn o fwy na £17 miliwn; yn yr un modd â lleoedd megis Conwy; a byddai rhannau eraill o'r gogledd hefyd yn gweld - os cymhwysir yr ateb cywir yn Crewe - welliannau sylweddol ym mherfformiad eu heconomïau perthnasol. Ond mae hefyd yn hanfodol nad ydym yn edrych ar HS2 ar wahân i bob seilwaith rheilffordd arall. Er fy mod yn parhau i gefnogi HS2, erys fy mhryderon bod achos busnes ar gyfer rhaglen gwerth £30 miliwn wedi cael sêl bendith, a byddwn i'n dweud efallai na fyddech yn cael sêl bendith ar gyfer achos busnes oni bai eich bod yn gogwyddo o blaid cymeradwyo'r prosiect yn y pen draw, ac y byddai rhaglen Crossrail 2 yn llyncu swm enfawr o fuddsoddiad, a hynny ar gyfer rhanbarth sydd eisoes wedi elwa gryn dipyn ar Crossrail 1 a llawer o welliannau eraill i wasanaethau. Felly, mae'n gwbl hanfodol nad ydym yn edrych ar HS2 ar ei ben ei hun, ond ein bod ni hefyd yn myfyrio ar y buddsoddiad ehangach ledled y DU, sydd, yn anffodus, fel yr wyf i wedi'i nodi, yn rhy aml wedi ei ganolbwyntio yn ne-ddwyrain Lloegr. Rwy'n meddwl ei bod yn bwysig gwahaniaethu rhwng y gwahaniaeth barn a safbwyntiau sydd gennyf gyda'r Ysgrifennydd Gwladol ynghylch ail-fapio gwasanaethau. Nid yw'n cytuno â mi ar hynny. Fodd bynnag, o ran gwelliannau seilwaith, y prosiectau hynny a nodwyd ganddo ef ei hun yw'r rhai y mae'r Athro Barry wedi bod yn gweithio arnynt; ac felly, o ganlyniad, maent yn brosiectau sydd fwyaf tebygol o gael caniatâd gan yr adran drafnidiaeth. Rwy'n credu mai ein swyddogaeth ni yw adeiladu achos ar gyfer pob un o'r prosiectau hynny er mwyn i Lywodraeth y DU fethu â dadlau â'r cymhelliad i wneud y buddsoddiad sydd ei angen arnom.
