English: What Wales needs, of course, is a national railway. My fear is - and it's really underlined by the fact that we are going to get one business case for north Wales and a separate one for south Wales and then something fuzzy in the middle - that the Welsh Government really is a prisoner of the old map and the old thinking, whereby our infrastructure wasn't actually about moving our people around our communities, it was mostly about moving goods west to east, and, in the coalfield, it was about moving coal south to the ports. We have to reverse that thinking. We have to have a national, integrated vision. And while there were many things in the Cabinet Secretary's long list of overarching needs, which is difficult to disagree with, it's the omission that was glaring. We're a country that is defined by our gaps, the things that aren't there, more than the things that are there. The one thing you didn't talk about - with the exception of connecting cities - is connecting Wales, a country whose railway map is a reverse 'E'. It's a trident that runs across our country, and nothing at the western end, and yet there are ambitious proposals to create a national western link. Indeed, the Government has commissioned itself a feasibility study to reopen the link between Carmarthen and Aberystwyth - nothing about that, at all, in this proposal, in this statement. Shouldn't there be, as part of Mark Barry's work, a commitment to looking at a western seaboard railway link, so that we can actually move from the south to the north of our country by rail without having to go into another country. It's a pretty modest demand, Cabinet Secretary. Now, you said that we shouldn't be standing in the margins complaining, and I heartily agree with that. The Cabinet Secretary for Finance recently announced that the Welsh Government will soon be able to issue bonds in order to fund infrastructure projects in the future. As part of this overarching analysis, will Professor Barry be looking at the possibility of using bonds, as Transport for London has done very successfully, as Professor Gerry Holtham has suggested, in terms of the cancelled electrification link? Rather than just complaining about those projects that Westminster's refusing to fund, shouldn't we be looking creatively at our own financial means of meeting our own requirements? Finally, it was, of course, Mark Barry's big idea for reducing journey times between Cardiff and Swansea, shared as part of his vision for the Swansea bay and western Valleys metro, to take the Neath station off the Great Western main line, running that connection, then, instead, along a new direct line from Port Talbot to Swansea. Can I therefore invite you to say clearly whether or not you are ruling out any proposal that would remove Neath from the Great Western main line? Your Counsel General said that he would not support any proposal that included this. He is ruling this idea out. Can you say whether you are ruling this out at this stage, given that it was actually Professor Barry's idea?
Welsh: Yr hyn y mae Cymru ei angen, wrth gwrs, yw rheilffordd genedlaethol. Fy ofn i yw - ac mewn gwirionedd mae'n cael ei danlinellu gan y ffaith ein bod ni'n mynd i gael un achos busnes ar gyfer y gogledd ac un ar wahân ar gyfer y de ac yna rhywbeth niwlog yn y canol - bod Llywodraeth Cymru mewn gwirionedd yn garcharor yr hen fap a'r hen dybiaeth, lle nad oedd ein seilwaith yn ymwneud â symud ein pobl o amgylch ein cymunedau mewn gwirionedd, roedd yn ymwneud yn bennaf â symud nwyddau o'r gorllewin i'r dwyrain, ac yn y maes glo, roedd yn ymwneud â symud glo i'r de i borthladdoedd. Mae'n rhaid inni wrthdroi'r dybiaeth honno. Mae'n rhaid inni gael gweledigaeth genedlaethol, integredig. Ac er bod llawer o bethau ar restr hir Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet o anghenion cyffredinol, sydd yn anodd anghytuno â nhw, yr hepgoriad sy'n amlwg. Rydym ni'n wlad a ddiffinnir gan ein bylchau, pethau nad ydynt yno, yn fwy na'r pethau sydd yno. Yr un peth na wnaethoch chi sôn amdano - ac eithrio cysylltu dinasoedd - yw cysylltu Cymru, gwlad y mae ei map rheilffyrdd fel 'E' wedi'i gwrthdroi. Mae'n dridant sy'n rhedeg ar draws ein gwlad, ac nid oes dim yn y pen gorllewinol, ac eto mae cynigion uchelgeisiol i greu cyswllt gorllewinol cenedlaethol. Yn wir, mae'r Llywodraeth wedi comisiynu astudiaeth ddichonoldeb i ailagor y cysylltiad rhwng Caerfyrddin ac Aberystwyth - nid oes dim am hynny, o gwbl, yn y cynnig hwn, yn y datganiad hwn. Oni ddylai fod, fel rhan o waith Mark Barry, ymrwymiad i edrych ar gysylltiad rheilffordd arfordir gorllewinol, fel y gallwn mewn gwirionedd symud o'r de i ogledd ein gwlad ar drên heb orfod mynd i wlad arall. Mae'n alw eithaf cymedrol, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet. Nawr, dywedasoch chi na ddylem ni fod yn sefyll yn yr ymylon yn cwyno, a chytunaf yn llwyr â hynny. Cyhoeddodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros gyllid yn ddiweddar y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn gallu cyhoeddi bondiau cyn bo hir er mwyn ariannu prosiectau seilwaith yn y dyfodol. Fel rhan o'r dadansoddiad cyffredinol hwn, a fydd yr Athro Barry yn ystyried y posibilrwydd o ddefnyddio bondiau, fel y gwnaeth Transport for London yn llwyddiannus iawn, fel yr awgrymodd yr Athro Gerry Holtham, o ran canslo'r cysylltiad trydaneiddio? Yn hytrach na dim ond cwyno am y prosiectau hynny y mae San Steffan yn gwrthod eu hariannu, oni ddylem ni fod yn edrych yn greadigol ar ein dulliau ariannol ein hunain o fodloni ein gofynion ein hunain? Yn olaf, wrth gwrs, syniad mawr Mark Barry oedd i leihau amserau teithio rhwng Caerdydd ac Abertawe, a rannwyd yn rhan o'i weledigaeth ar gyfer metro Bae Abertawe a'r Cymoedd gorllewinol, i dynnu Castell-nedd oddi ar brif reilffordd y Great Western, gan redeg y cysylltiad hwnnw, wedyn, yn hytrach, ar hyd llinell uniongyrchol newydd o Bort Talbot i Abertawe. A gaf i felly eich gwahodd i ddweud yn glir p'un a ydych yn diystyru unrhyw gynnig a fyddai'n dileu Castell-nedd o brif reilffordd y Great Western? Dywedodd eich Cwnsler Cyffredinol na fyddai'n cefnogi unrhyw gynnig fyddai'n cynnwys hwn. Mae ef yn diystyru'r syniad hwn. Allwch chi ddweud p'un a ydych chi'n diystyru hwn ar hyn o bryd, o gofio mai syniad yr Athro Barri ydoedd mewn gwirionedd?
