The first two sentences are correct, but the last one is not. If
change "isogu ittara" to "isoide ittara", then it's all right.
The three sentences don't mean the same thing. The first one (Isogu
nara, tsu gi no densha ni noru koto ga dekiru yo) translates to "You
can take the next train if you're in a hurry."
The second sentence (Isogeba, tsugi no densha ni noru koto ga dekiru
yo) means "you can take the next train if you hurry." In this case,
the next train will start shortly and you'll have to hurry up if you
want to catch it.
The third one (the corrected version) means pretty much the same as
the second one.
