They activated before a northbound train has finished pulling into the station, and when it stopped at the platform and didn't proceed, they turned off. So a full cycle of lights and arms for nothing.
Unfortunately I have an idea this may be intentional. I believe the reason one would get if one asked (and got anything but crickets, so I’m not talking about asking @rideIONrt on Twitter) would relate to the case of the train overshooting, but I think this is basically safety paranoia. We don’t make vehicles approaching a green light stop, and then proceed only when traffic coming the other way has stopped. An LRV approaching the road (but not intending to cross yet) is no different from a large truck or bus approaching a red light.
