English: I'd like to thank the Member for giving me an opportunity to confirm that the headquarters of Transport for Wales will be located in the Valleys. When I made my statement, which was comprehensive, back in July I said it was my intention to ensure that that happens, and I can tell Members today that it is still my intention, once we have identified suitable premises, for the headquarters of Transport for Wales to be located in the Valleys. Presiding Officer, I set out details back in July for taking forward the Wales and borders franchise and the next phase of the metro, and last week's announcement was part of the procurement process. In terms of what my officials told the media or anybody else, there is nothing new in what was presented other than the four bidders that have been named. Transport for Wales, as the Member is aware, is a not-for-profit, wholly owned subsidiary company of the Welsh Government and will act in a professional advisory capacity to support our procurement and delivery of the next Wales and borders franchise. It employs 22 members of staff - experts who I'm confident will be able to address the concerns of the report that the Member identified. In terms of the map, which was raised earlier in First Minister's questions by the Member Leanne Wood, we have reached an agreement with the Department for Transport on the map, including the provision for services that will extend to Bristol and to Liverpool. In terms of the operation of cross-border services, the Member will be aware that we've already established and agreed one agency agreement with the Secretary of State and we are in the process of finalising an agreement with the Secretary of State on a second agency agreement that will concern cross-border travel. However, I recognise that there are real and legitimate concerns across the border amongst many passengers who start and finish their journeys within England. For that reason, I am determined to make sure that we have the right processes in place for their complaints or, indeed, for any of their concerns to be expressed and to be dealt with appropriately. For that reason, I anticipate ensuring that the cross-border forum that currently exists continues well into the future.
Welsh: Hoffwn ddiolch i'r Aelod am roi cyfle i mi gadarnhau y bydd pencadlys Trafnidiaeth Cymru yn cael ei leoli yn y Cymoedd. Pan wnes i fy natganiad, a oedd yn gynhwysfawr, yn ôl ym mis Gorffennaf, dywedais mai fy mwriad oedd sicrhau bod hynny'n digwydd, a gallaf ddweud wrth yr Aelodau heddiw mai dyna fy mwriad o hyd, pan fyddwn wedi nodi safle addas, i bencadlys Trafnidiaeth Cymru gael ei leoli yn y Cymoedd. Lywydd, cyflwynais fanylion yn ôl ym mis Gorffennaf ar gyfer bwrw ymlaen â masnachfraint Cymru a'r gororau a cham nesaf y metro, ac roedd cyhoeddiad yr wythnos diwethaf yn rhan o'r broses gaffael. O ran yr hyn a ddywedodd fy swyddogion wrth y cyfryngau neu unrhyw un arall, nid oes dim byd newydd yn yr hyn a gyflwynwyd ac eithrio bod y pedwar cynigydd wedi cael eu henwi. Mae Trafnidiaeth Cymru, fel y mae'r Aelod yn gwybod, yn is-gwmni dielw, sy'n eiddo cyflawn i Lywodraeth Cymru a bydd yn gweithredu mewn swyddogaeth gynghori broffesiynol i gynorthwyo ein gwaith o gaffael a darparu'r fasnachfraint Cymru a'r gororau nesaf. Mae'n cyflogi 22 aelod o staff - arbenigwyr, yr wyf yn hyderus y byddant yn gallu mynd i'r afael â phryderon yr adroddiad a nodwyd gan yr Aelod. O ran y map, a godwyd yn gynharach yn ystod cwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog gan yr Aelod Leanne Wood, rydym ni wedi dod i gytundeb gyda'r Adran Drafnidiaeth ar y map, gan gynnwys y ddarpariaeth ar gyfer gwasanaethau a fydd yn ymestyn i Fryste ac i Lerpwl. O ran gweithredu gwasanaethau trawsffiniol, bydd yr Aelod yn ymwybodol ein bod ni eisoes wedi sefydlu a chytuno un cytundeb asiantaeth gyda'r Ysgrifennydd Gwladol ac rydym ni yn y broses o gwblhau cytundeb gyda'r Ysgrifennydd Gwladol ar ail gytundeb asiantaeth a fydd yn ymwneud â theithio trawsffiniol. Fodd bynnag, rwy'n cydnabod bod pryderon gwirioneddol a dilys ar draws y ffin ymhlith llawer o deithwyr sy'n dechrau ac yn gorffen eu teithiau yn Lloegr. Am y rheswm hwnnw, rwy'n benderfynol o wneud yn siŵr bod gennym ni'r prosesau cywir ar waith ar gyfer eu cwynion neu, yn wir, i unrhyw un o'u pryderon gael eu mynegi ac i gael sylw priodol. Am y rheswm hwnnw, rwy'n rhagweld y byddaf yn sicrhau bod y fforwm trawsffiniol sy'n bodoli ar hyn o bryd yn parhau ymhell i'r dyfodol.
