And let's hope that we're not in the same place in another 12 months, but we'll have to wait and see. Okay. We do need to move on, but I just want to ask you what your view is on the UK Government's promise of a £1 billion investment to electrify the north…

And we will.

But you're telling me exactly what I've been told in years gone by.

It's in the future again, isn't it? You knew that these games were happening two years ago, very nearly. It just feels that we're in a circle of denial here.

It was delayed, yes, but it was advertised as five past 10, so most people decided it wasn't viable.

Yes. Because to get from the Cardiff City Stadium for a match that doesn't finish, or you don't get out of the stadium until about a 9.45 p.m., 9.50 p.m., to expect people to get to Cardiff Central for 10.05 p.m., I think, is frankly ridiculous.

Okay. And I was informed as well that there would be a special service after the match back to Wrexham from Cardiff. Would that have been the 22:05, which was the last train that was advertised?

I'm surprised at that because I and other Members here have raised this regularly with Ministers and the First Minister, who've assured us that they would convey to you the need to make sure that you're on it.

But it's tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, isn't it? You're always very sorry. Surely, if you know there's a major event, you plan some sort of contingency. I know events happen and things go wrong sometimes, but they seem to be going wrong all of the time…

We're going to have to move on, I'm afraid, because time is against us. Can I ask about the impact of plans for a major event stabling line at Llanwern being cancelled, and what effect that has or how you're trying to improve planning for major events, one of…

The reason it was raised last week in evidence—. You know, the question was asked, 'Why 15 minutes?' What's the science behind that? It feels a bit finger-in-the-air.

Croeso’n ôl i'r pwyllgor. Dŷn ni'n parhau’n â’n craffu ar Trafnidiaeth Cymru, ac mi awn ni'n syth at Delyth Jewell.

Thank you for that. We'll now pause and take a short five-minute break and we'll reconvene ready to start at 10:40. Diolch yn fawr.

Sorry. You mentioned keeping time; I'm failing miserably in that respect when it comes to managing this meeting. So, could I just ask Members for brief, sharp questions and likewise in terms of responses, otherwise we'll be woefully short in covering so many…

Maybe we can ask you to send us a note, because we have a number of areas that we wish to cover, and we're not a quarter of the way through yet and we're nearing halfway through our allocated time, I'm afraid. Huw, did you want to briefly come in on something…
