Sorry, it was a long answer.

None of the budgets are sufficient; we’ve got a £1.2 million shortfall. It’s the best that we can do.
25 Ionawr 2024Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2024-25 - rhan 1
Yes. It’s rewiring the system, so we need to get local authorities to work on a regional basis to share their powers, to work with TfW. We need to gear up TfW—that was established as a rail procurement body—to be able to manage bus well, and the whole crisis…

The two need to work in tandem.

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2024-25 - rhan 1
Well, legislation isn’t the big barrier. We’ll introduce legislation this year. We’ll be publishing next month, I believe, a route-map of how we bridge from where we are to where we need to get to on franchising. It’s not a quick journey because it’s…

The figure of 13 per cent access to a car is a tricky one, isn't it, because, on the surface, that seems like a good thing. It's relatively low that people are not denied the freedom of movement a car provides, but, actually, the reverse is true. The fact…

Peter, do you want to answer that?
25 Ionawr 2024Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2024-25 - rhan 1
I think I've just answered that, Janet, to be fair.
25 Ionawr 2024Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2024-25 - rhan 1
Yes, and we hope it'll bring more stability, but, of course, there are always variables that we don't control. So, inflation is still—. If we said, 'Here's a fixed sum, you deliver your bus services', there's a degree of uncertainty there still. But the…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2024-25 - rhan 1
Well, previously, of course, local authorities, who still have a legal obligation to assess and provide for socially necessary services, even though they look to us to actually do it for them, had a role in that, and the reality of austerity means that…

And, again, that's in preparation for franchising.

And also, using the crisis to take us towards the new franchising system. So, consolidating those funding lines also helps put us in a better position for the way we manage and the way we engage with operators and local authorities, to try and put that on a…

New trains.

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2024-25 - rhan 1
But, also, the underlying point of your question is that the assumption we had in our budget from day one from the KeolisAmey bid has set the baseline higher than where in reality it is. So, that does then create a notional black hole that we're constantly…

I'll ask Peter to come in as well, but the Scottish Government aren't building a metro, and as Julie said, you have to buy the trains in advance, you have to hire the staff in advance, you have to train them in advance, plus we've got the inflationary cost…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2024-25 - rhan 1
Well, in reality, look at the budget situation we're in this year and where we've had to find a significant amount to fill a hole, and we've done that, but it's at the cost of other things. TfW are very conscious that when their projects overrun, or when…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2024-25 - rhan 1
Peter's got an answer to that.
25 Ionawr 2024Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2024-25 - rhan 1
Yes, I just wanted to add a reflection, really, in terms of the committee's future work, because I think one thing I've really learnt in this role is how profound taking on a railway is to the Welsh Government. It is a huge liability. All of us—well, most of…

Could I—?
25 Ionawr 2024Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2024-25 - rhan 1
Okay. Well, Peter McDonald and I are going to tag-team this morning, so I'll ask him to lead on the detail of that, if that's okay.

I'm very sorry that this has happened. I'm very pleased that the relationship between the officials and the research service is sufficiently robust that that can be challenged and put right. But, clearly, it's not ideal, and I just apologise to the committee.
