Cynaliadwyedd Gwasanaethau Bysiau Cymru - sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda gweithredwyr bysiau
Thank you very much. In which case, if we could move on to another section, then, Heledd, I think you're going to take us into modal shift.

Scott, did you want to come in on this? And, Carolyn, just to forewarn you, as I think you’d indicated previously you wanted to come in. But, Scott, anything you want to add at this moment?

Cynaliadwyedd Gwasanaethau Bysiau Cymru - sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda gweithredwyr bysiau
Carolyn, do you mind? We might return to some of these matters subsequently. It made sense to go ahead there—to leap ahead to your questions—but I wonder if we can just go slightly backwards, because I think that we can delve into these in some more detail in…

Okay, brilliant. Look, what I'm going to do is, we're going to come back and delve into some of those related issues in a moment, but I'm going to go on to Carolyn now. Now, Carolyn, you had your hand up anyway, so please go ahead with whatever you wanted to…

Scott, just back to you for any further comments you want to add, but Aaron has just thrown a figure at us, quite helpfully, of £5 million to £10 million. Is that in the ballpark?

Cynaliadwyedd Gwasanaethau Bysiau Cymru - sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda gweithredwyr bysiau
Anything you want to add to that? I wonder if you want to touch—and I'll come back to you, Scott—on what the Minister has described as the transitional period, the fact that he's found some money to extend this period, so that we can have those discussions…

Thanks, Carolyn. Very helpful indeed there. Could I just ask you, can you let us into the trade secrets here? How are the discussions going with Welsh Government, specifically on the bus emergency scheme funding? Is it, as you described, Scott, that that is…

Thank you very much, Delyth. You covered a lot of ground, the two of you there, in your opening remarks. Sorry—it was remiss of me not to welcome Heledd Fychan and Carolyn Thomas to our committee this afternoon. Carolyn, you'd like to come in on this.

Wel, croeso nôl, pawb. Welcome back to this afternoon's session of our committee. We've had two evidence sessions this morning on a different area, but, this afternoon, we are focusing very much on sustainability of Welsh bus services. And we begin this…

Excellent. Thank you very much indeed. We have run out of time now, but I just want to thank our three witnesses for their evidence today. It really has been illuminating. If there is anything else that the three of you want to send to us, subsequent to this…

On the back of Delyth's question, I'm just going to offer the opportunity to Stephen and then Rosie of any final comments, either in response to Delyth's question or anything else you think that we might have missed or you think is important. Stephen.

Really fascinating. We’ve covered all the substantive areas I think that we need to, but before we finish, can I just check with my committee colleagues: is there anything you want to ask further, investigate further, or are you happy, before we leave our…

I'm familiar, from a very different area that I used to be involved with, with the concept of perceptual carrying capacity, which can vary from individual to individual. So, my idea of how many people are welcome on a mountain when I'm walking is zero; for…

Thanks, Janet. Are you content with that? It seems to me this, more than anything, stresses the need for that advisory group to work through some of this detail and both the evidence base that's needed, but also to engage with some of those concerns that have…
