Minister, I'm very pleased that we have this opportunity today, because it enables me to highlight again the case for a new walkway station at Magor, which I know you're very familiar with, and, indeed, was mentioned by Delyth earlier. There is great community support for a new station there as part of the UK new stations fund. Work has been done, stages have been gone through and further stages remain. Monmouthshire County Council is committed to providing funding, with the Welsh Government being looked to for matching money to enable that further work, as part of the UK new stations process, to proceed. I know you're very well aware of all of these issues, Minister, but I wonder whether there's anything you might say today in terms of an update, given that the local community are very eager to learn of any new developments or progress.
