Yn gynharach eleni, gelwais ar Lywodraeth y DU i ganiatáu i Gymru ysgwyddo'r cyfrifoldeb am ddyfarnu masnachfraint y gwasanaethau intercity rhwng Cymru a gweddill y DU. O gofio'r manteision aruthrol rydym wedi'u sicrhau a llwyddiant y broses rydym wedi'i chru, hoffwn ailadrodd yr alwad honno heddiw.
Earlier this year I called on the UK Government to allow the Welsh Government to take on responsibility for the franchising of inter-city services between Wales and the rest of the UK.  Given the considerable benefits we have achieved, and the success of the process we have created, I would like to today reiterate that call.
