Well, I was very pleased to note the findings of the report. It fully justified the significant investment made by the Welsh Government in the area over many years, and it also demonstrates what can be done when investment is provided in a way that can meet the aspirations of passengers. We've been underfunded for too long. Certainly for the whole of the last control period, we were underfunded: 1 per cent of investment for about 5 per cent of the network. But we as a Welsh Government are investing very heavily, and as we take forward the vision of the south Wales metro, we're determined to ensure that we link in developments in transport with developments of our hospital and health estates, and with school estates as well, to get maximum value for the public purse.
