I've done the illicit crossing of Waterloo St a month or so ago, and can confirm that it was patently ridiculous that it was closed. There was no safety difference from when it was an open street. No site works were happening anywhere near the street.
The main reason railways are "more dangerous" is because they see much fewer trains than an average street sees cars, so people forget to look both ways before crossing. All trains through here are already going slow, and ringing their bells.
It remains an absurd closure.
