There are no physical barriers, but there are gangs of railway staff
checking tickets who roam around according to where the trains are. One
of the gangs is usually to be found of the footbridge you mention.

It can't be a violation to go up onto the bridge and out via a different
platform, since that is the main way out from 13/14.
