And to deal with these climate pressures in an age of austerity is doubly difficult, so we need to be investing far more in our infrastructure. We don't have the firepower to do it on our own.

And it's a particular problem with the railway, and Network Rail are doing a lot of work on this because, when you think, a lot of our railways are on the coast, hugging the sea. It's very pretty, but very vulnerable to rising sea levels.

Sure. Well, I would say, Senedd Members generally can't have their cake and eat it. They can't expect us to live within a limited budget, to continue to build new roads and to tackle the backlog of maintenance. It doesn't add up. So, when we do announce the…

Well, there's a very significant backlog—over £1 billion worth of backlog. Your predecessor committees have written reports on this, and made the recommendation, in fact, that we should be maintaining existing roads before we build new roads. That's one of…

Yes. This is a bit of a red herring, this one, because most—not most, all—of the schemes that the roads review is looking at are schemes currently in development. The whole criteria was that we're not looking at schemes where shovels are in the ground—they're…

That's where budget constraints come in, because that Sustrans scheme, E-Move, has been successful and we're looking to extend it. We'd like to really ramp it up, but we simply don't have the budget headroom.

Well, we've put in the guidance for the active travel plans that they have to map all schools and, over time, need to identify how people are going to travel to those schools. And all new schools, similarly, have now, as part of their business case, which…

Okay. Well, I'll try to be brief. We're spending less than we had originally thought we would, and that's partly because, as the cross-party report on active travel that Huw led has pointed out, there are some real capacity and capability constraints across…

The difference is, of course, the rest of the bus companies are entirely in private ownership. You know, Cardiff and Newport have a different model, so we've been able to help them with some of the costs. But we are talking with the rest of the industry. The…

I'll ask Peter to come in and add to this, but essentially, yes, we've had to change our target because it simply was not realistic—the original target we had on bus decarbonisation. So, we've now changed it to 50 per cent of the most polluting fleet. We've…

But just to say, I do think scrutiny of TfW is really important, and the committee has a valuable role to play there, to help us, because they are significantly bigger than our civil service parallel team, if you like, so there is an asymmetry there. And…

Well, there's a lot of them. We are resourcing them properly and the budget has gone up. The money that Jenny mentioned, that £40 million, went into TfW. Yes, we're asking them to do a lot and we'll be asking them to do more, but they're also being funded.

I think your report highlights that there is a lot going on in the TfW budget and we are committed to simplifying the way that is reported, just as we're committed to moving to a multimodal key performance indicator structure. The journey TfW has been on—…

No. The huge backward step was not fulfilling the promise to electrify the Cardiff and Valleys lines and the south Wales main line to Swansea. That was a broken promise, and we're living with the consequence of that. The new trains that we're launching at the…

It's a helpful contribution to a much larger project. The metro is a circa £1 billion project and they're contributing £50 million. And bear in mind rail infrastructure is not devolved, although most of the metro is on the Cardiff and Valleys lines, which…

I'm really pleased you've raised transport poverty, and I'm pleased that Sustrans are continuing to highlight it, because it is a neglected area of policy debate. I think we're familiar with fuel poverty, where if you spend 10 per cent of your income heating…
