Thank you, that is very encouraging. As I'm sure you're aware, there are major issues in terms of the frequency of trains calling, particularly in Pontypool, which causes major challenges for commuters who have to drive to Cwmbran to get a train from there. That's despite the fact that the regular Cardiff to Manchester service passes Pontypool by and goes on to Abergavenny. Will you discuss this with Transport for Wales and see what urgent changes can be made to prioritise more stops to Pontypool?
