I understand that the UK Government has carried out an analysis, based on the TEMPro 7 model, which I’m sure the Member recalls has been problematic in the past, especially insofar as modelling the M4 use is concerned. I personally do not believe that we should aim to promote road travel over and above rail or bus travel. I think that bus and rail travel are both something that we have a proud history of, particularly bus travel, where we have the powers, and where we have been able to intervene.

I reflect at the moment on the fact that there are 101 million passenger journeys taken by buses. We’ve produced a five-point plan to stabilise and strengthen the bus network across Wales. I’ll be hosting a bus summit next Monday, in Wrexham, and the TrawsCymru network across Wales goes from strength to strength. Now, the fact of the matter is that we will be able to deliver an even better bus network once the powers that we require are delivered to us through the Wales Bill. It’s my view that we can have a better and more sustainable bus service, but it’s also my view that we can have a fairer system for the Severn crossings.
