Have no idea about the Taxi availabilty. 

But good luck in making sure you get off at the right stop.  The trains are not alway precise on their times.  And if they called out the Buriram train station when I arrived by train I didn't hear it.

there were definitely motorbikes about last time I did this, methinks a tuktuk also.

As Anyone will inform you who has lived and traveled here in Thailand for any length of time the transport system never sleeps ,there's always plenty of it whatever time you arrive at a bus or train station ,Prakonchai bus station being a prime example ,any way glad you got sorted out . :)

Yeah Makman, sound advice, but the time factor is somewhat of a problem here , although he could ask them the normal price for a Tuk tuk to avoid being ripped off as Nookie advised  if they cannot meet him :)

What I do is ring the wife when I get about 30 minutes from the station. As you say NB they are never on time  :)
