Delete all and replace with:

1. Believes that the HS2 project is an England only infrastructure project and that Wales should receive a Barnett consequential that reflects this.

2. Believes that the funds received as a Barnett consequential should be used to create an effective transport infrastructure that links together all the regions of Wales, and that this should include the following projects:

(a) improving transport connections within Wales; improving links between north and south; and creating regional networks in our main urban areas such as the south Wales metro project and an extensive north Wales metro project;

(b) transport solutions that work for rural Wales and its particular demographic and geographic challenges; and

(c) the electrification of the north and south Wales main railway lines, and extensive upgrading of the broader Welsh rail network.
