Brief Answer:
Nothing will happen - he can travel

Detailed Answer:
Hi.... nothing will happen even if the 13 year old kid travels by an air conditioned train. Only thing is that please take precaution regarding the rug they provide, because it can contain dust mite which can trigger asthmatic attack.
