But you can't just put a footbridge any more if you want to have passengers traverse it - it must be either ramped or have elevators. By the time you built a ramp down from the roadbridge (assuming it would be allowed from the POV of road safety) the length of the remaining platform might not be long enough to park a 22x3. It might be cheaper to install CTC and relocate the loops out of the platform.

Traincustomer - perhaps they are adding some extra time to allow for lateness of the inbound train(s)?
