A 16-year-old boy has been charged with the murder of a teenager stabbed to death during a fight on a train in Sydney's south-west.

A 17-year-old Marrickville boy was stabbed in the chest during a fight between two groups of teenagers on a train at Campsie Railway Station at 5.30pm (AEDT) on Sunday.

He was taken to St George Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival, police said.

Police questioned all passengers in the first carriage of the train, where the fight broke out, and arrested several youths.

A 16-year-old boy has since been charged with murder, affray and custody of a knife in a public place.

He has been refused bail to appear at Parramatta Children's Court on Monday.

Five other teenagers, aged between 15 and 17, have been charged with affray.
