Cwestiwn
Mae'r cwestiwn a'r ateb yn Saesneg gan nad oes fersiwn Gymraeg ar gael.
Will the Minister explain why new train stock is not being introduced on the Treherbert line in February given that a) the line is due to re-open next month, and b) the signalling updates and electrification infrastructure for the new metro trains has been installed along the majority of the line?

The deployment of rolling stock is an operational decision made by Transport for Wales.
The new electric trains need to be tested on the line before introduction into passenger service. This will be done over the coming months alongside necessary driver and conductor training. In the meantime, Transport for Wales will use the existing fleet to allow the resumption of services, and to familiarise train crew with the changes to signalling, track, and platforms.
