The 13-year-old boy was found on the railway tracks by police at Homebush station around 5.30pm on Thursday.

There were delays on the T1 North Shore and Western line and buses were also affected. 

The disruption also affected train services on the T2 Inner West and Leppington line as well as the T3 Bankstown, T8 Airport and the T9 Northern Lines.
