The train arrived "suddenly", or as Tommy Cooper used to say "Just like that".

Read this as meaning the tuk tuk driver was half asleep or stoned.

The only surprising thing is that it doesn't happen much more frequently.

I am really surprised
Spoiler:
that it took so long for this to happpen
It is going to get much worse once the faster trains arrive from Mexico, currently the journey takes appx. 45 mins, but will only take 20 mins with the new trains.
