Well, Llywydd, I'm sure the Member will have welcomed the plans that have already been published for a Sunday service from Maesteg to Cardiff, stopping at Pencoed, which will begin this year. She will have welcomed the fact that, from the autumn of this year, there will be upgraded rolling stock, producing a 45 per cent increase in capacity on morning journeys from Maesteg, and I know that she will have welcomed the fact that, by December 2023, the running time between Cardiff and Maesteg will have been reduced from 55 minutes to 46 minutes, as a result of decisions made by this Welsh Labour Government.
