A teenage boy is fighting for life after falling from a train onto the tracks on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, causing major disruptions to a busy train line.

Emergency services were called to the railway corridor between Wynyard and Milsons Point stations about 11.30am on Thursday, November 12, following reports a person had fallen onto the tracks.

NSW Ambulance said the boy suffered multiple injuries, including to his head, chest and pelvis.

A CareFlight helicopter landed at Bradfield Park, with its medical team and NSW Ambulance paramedics treating the boy at the scene.

The boy was taken by road to Royal North Shore Hospital in a critical condition, accompanied by the CareFlight medical team.

Trains on the T1 North Shore Line have been suspended between North Sydney and Wynyard.

Passengers are urged to consider alternative transport, including Metro services between the city and North Sydney.
