Sydney’s rail network has been thrown into chaos during the morning peak with major delays after a teenager was hit by a train.
Emergency services were called to the railway line between St Peters and Sydenham stations early on Tuesday morning after a teenager was found on the track with head injuries.
The incident has caused major disruptions on the T3 Bankstown Line, T4 Eastern Suburbs & Illawarra Line and SCO South Coast Line.
“Some trains will be held back on platforms as long as this incident continues. Postpone your journey if possible or consider using other public transport options nearby,” said a warning from Sydney Trains.

Photos from Daily Mail Australia show dozens of commuters on the Sydenham platform waiting for announcements.
A train can also be seen 200 meters further along the track, surrounded by emergency services, including ambulance personnel.
Replacement buses are being organized to run between Redfern and Sydenham.
Commuters are urged to allow extra travel time as trains stop at different platforms and may be delayed, while stops may change at short notice.
“The T3, T4 and South Coast lines are not currently running and replacement buses are currently being arranged,” a Transport for NSW spokesperson said.
