I don't think half a mile is a "huge detour"

That's just "Half a mile on the bypass", total distance for the detour will be over two miles. Each way. Instead of six hundred yards. They have a point.

Well, if we want freight off the road and onto rail it just has to be done !

But, can't say I would be overjoyed if it were my village.;)
