Nos Lun, cefais y pleser o gyfarfod â pherchnogion busnesau ym Mhrestatyn sy'n asgwrn cefn i'n heconomi a'n cymunedau lleol. Roedd yn gyfle pwysig i wrando ar eu profiadau, deall y pwysau y maent yn ei wynebu, a thrafod y cymorth sydd ar gael gan y…

Craffu blynyddol ar waith Trafnidiaeth Cymru
Can you update us on the delivery of the north Wales metro? We've heard about the core Valleys lines. We want to see investment in north Wales as well. What level of investment is flowing into that scheme, and can you outline key dates for delivery?

Yes, okay—it was asset transfer and fleet ownership. So, in Manchester, everything was transferred. But do you think that there will be a hybrid approach, so that some of the assets can remain with the local SMEs, maybe?

That's reassuring, because we want to manage people's expectations with this as well. And it feels like you considering that going forward, which is really important, and that accountability, because very often we get a lot of book passing as well. So, people…

Thank you. My second question was about funding. I feel a little bit reassured that you're hoping to do it in the existing budget. During the budget scrutiny, the Cabinet Secretary said perhaps the greatest threat to bus services is having enough money. I…

Okay. Thank you, Chair. I'm going to talk about bus reform and franchise readiness, if that's okay. Does Transport for Wales now have the capacity to deliver the bus franchising? What steps have you taken to increase your organisational capacity, and what…

There are two elements there, really. We do have cross-border rail. Is that why it's England and Wales, because we have so much cross-border? That's the first one. Can you really separate it? But then, if we need to separate it, and look at the historic lack…

In 2018, you championed Northern Powerhouse Rail projects as crucial for north Wales and that it should be classed as a Wales and England project. We have a lot of cross-border rail, don't we? Llandudno to Manchester, Liverpool to Wrexham. So, we have to work…
