Any experience with the autotrain? what is the best way to get from the Villages to the Samford train station?

Thanks in advance
Have friends with home in the V's who have used it for years, would not do anything else. Just took it again last week, binge watched Netflix, good dinner with wine included. will be back in a few months again on Auto Train. If you would like to see every detail from auto loading to the actual trip, there are many fine videos on UTube that show everything about the trip. Only way I know of to get to Sanford is to drive there or try to hire a private driver to take you, don't know of any shuttle service on a regular basis.
