Hundreds of commuters were hit by long delays during peak hour after a boy was found injured on the train tracks in Sydney’s west.
The 13-year-old boy was found by police on the tracks at Homebush Station around 5.30pm on Thursday.

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.

A NSW Police spokeswoman told Daily Mail the police operation has ended.
Commuters have been warned to expect disruptions across the network due to the incident.
