South Wales Metro Works | Gwaith Metro De Cymru
South Wales Metro Works | Gwaith Metro De Cymru
Transport for Wales is working on the South Wales Metro by installing new electric wires above the railway between Caerphilly and Rhymney.
Once switched on, these wires will carry 25,000 volts of electricity. This is extremely dangerous. You do not need to touch the wires to get hurt, as electricity can jump up to 3 metres through the air.
Please stay well away from the railway, and never go onto the tracks or near the fences. Trains may also be running at unexpected times while testing takes place, even if they’re not shown on timetables.
The attached letter from Transport for Wales contains the full information, so please take the time to read it.

Every member of school staff has a duty to create a safe environment where children can learn.
For any safeguarding queries or concerns, please call us on 01443 875531 or email us at HeoldduComprehensive@sch.caerphilly.gov.uk.

We use ClassCharts and Go4Schools to help families stay connected with school life and keep up to date with important information.
ClassCharts provides parents and carers with updates on behaviour, rewards, achievements, announcements, and key messages from school.
Go4Schools allows families to view important information about their child’s progress, reports, attendance, and academic achievements.
We encourage all parents and carers to regularly check both platforms to stay informed and support their child’s learning journey.
