During rush hour, again, this week, Transport for Wales has been under fire for cancelled trains, missed stops and overcrowding. I don't think it's acceptable to hear passengers—including one telling a story of setting out early for a new job and reporting having to watch four or more trains pass through Queen Street station before finally finding room to get on one. These are problems people are facing day after day after day.

Given this, I'm sure you'll understand the alarm at recent reports that if Transport for Wales don't get the go-ahead from the Department for Transport to continue using old non-compliant Pacer trains before the end of the year, when new accessibility requirements kick in, the train operator will lose up to 30 trains or 60 carriages. This is half of their rolling stock on Valleys lines services. Around 19 Sprinter trains could also be taken out of action for the same reason, with implications for the Cardiff-to-Holyhead service. First Minister, can you confirm that Transport for Wales have robust contingency plans in place to deal with the potential loss of up to half their fleet and the chaos that that would clearly cause for passengers?
