To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

1. Welcomes the broad range of support, including from the Welsh Government, for an integrated rapid transit system (metro) based on the valleys rail network;

2. Acknowledges that the electrification of the Valleys’ Lines is a non-devolved matter and a pre-requisite of the development of the metro; and

3. Recognises that the current financial context, coupled with the absence of Welsh Government borrowing powers, will result in incremental progress of the project and will require a collaborative approach co-ordinated by the Welsh Government.
