I live near the Lorton station in Virginia. I see the long lines of folks waiting to get their car loaded, sit and wait, sit and wait, car line often so long it spills outside onto a local road causing traffic issues. Lorton station does have a nice waiting area building.
But beware auto-train is often late, part of reason is passenger trains giving the right of way to freight traffic on the journey. Read the reviews, only a 2.5 rating on TripAdvisor. My neighbor had a bad experience taking the auto train recently, not all food services rendered, got a small refund he was not happy with, wrote to Amtrak about it.
One reviewer said this: "I took the train in Coach from Lorton to VA in Jan and have a return trip planned in a few weeks. The only reason to take this train is to avoid driving. Don't take this train for "an experience" or for "dining options" or for "expediency". ""
But I do love trains! Nothing will derail me, I will stay on track with my hobby watching them and sometimes riding them. =|=|=|=|=|=|=

I'm trying to get a spring break trip together using this, and am coming up with the following out of PHL:
2 adults, 2 kids
$366 departing on March 29
$594 returning on April 6.
If the car fee is $250 each way, we're looking at about $1,500. A far cry from $39 / passenger times 8.
Anyone else having luck out there?
I really wish we had a better train system. If they get more of Brightline built, and somehow at all affordable, it might all click.
Maybe one day, after we're long gone. Unfortunately the govt will screw it up even more. Then people like me who prefer to drive everywhere they can (who, yes I realize Brightline isn't for) won't use it. Plus here in Orlando mass transit sucks so like you said unless the price drops significantly tickets + having to rideshare/taxi everywhere when you get to your destination kills it. The time savings vs driving doesn't help Brightline either. I'd love for Florida to finally get some sort of passenger rail system going. Less people on the road is better for me and others that prefer to drive or just have too much crap that doesn't or can't go on a train. Even deal for this thread wouldn't do me any good as my pickup qualifies as an oversized vehicle so price last time I checked was significant. I can drive to VA AND have all the crap I "need" while paying for diesel and price wise it's cheaper or close enough that it doesn't matter.
I'll wait....
Did you even try?
Yea we always go back n forth on doing it.
We drove from nj to disney last august in our model y and it was $95 in charging each way and we made it there in one day.
Our friends do the train since they dont fly so thats their only option, they think we are crazy to drive.
With flights so high now its a cheaper (but longer) option i guess for older people that cant do the drive in one shot if u compare to someone who'd have to break it up with a hotel
