Well they didn't know if the train station was safe. In fact they had every reason to think it wasn't safe since the barrier had closed and they didn't know why! If someone had been trying to hurt Harry, like someone was last year, it could have been very dangerous to stand around waiting for a reply by owl.
I think it was very clever of Ron to think of a way to get Harry away from the station.
It probably would have been good to send an owl once they were away though, because we were all very worried on the train!
