Thank you for that, Cabinet Secretary. Firstly, I'd like to thank you for meeting with me, with Huw Irranca-Davies, local Members of Parliament and the Rhondda Cynon Taf council leader, Andrew Morgan, to discuss those services from Pontyclun to Cardiff. And, of course, these impact very significantly on the public who wish to access public transport rather than taking to the road. As the Cabinet Secretary will know, the scale of housing development in Pencoed and in that part of Taff-Ely means that the demand for train services at Pontyclun is not only large, but is going to increase significantly.

The first key issue is that trains are only two carriages long, and I'd be grateful for your thoughts on how this could be addressed as part of the plan to replace rolling stock. Secondly, the frequency of trains is largely determined by the crossing at Pencoed, which is closed for up to 40 minutes every hour. A new overpass at Pencoed would mean that the crossing need not close, facilitating a significant increase in train frequency. I wonder if the Cabinet Secretary would give his thoughts on the viability of these solutions.
