I very much welcome that response and I know that funding for the successive phases of the roll-out is now a little bit more precarious, post Brexit. But it does provide some exciting potential here, the hub within Bridgend, which is still sitting along that area, which is the sixth biggest manufacturing area and employment area within the UK as well. It has enormous potential. If we’re to seize the benefits of a genuine south Wales metro, we have to push it up the Valleys and also westwards as well. So, perhaps, if he’ll take his hat off as First Minister and come down with me and meet with Councillor Huw David, the new leader of Labour-controlled Bridgend authority, we’ll sit down and discuss it together over a cup of tea.
