A trespasser on the tracks near the Britomart Transport Centre in downtown Auckland delayed some services today, Auckland Transport says.

The man was spotted on the tracks about 9.40am, spokesman Mark Hannan said.

Police removed him just over half an hour later.

The incident resulted in delays to three trains and cancellations to two services, which were replaced by buses, Mr Hannan said.

"We've got very good security cameras and presumably he was picked up on those cameras."

The company was now focused on getting the services back on schedule, he said.
