hi, in the last part of my month trip i need to get from Belgium to London. I've heard the cheapest way to do this is the DB Bahn bus which costs €4.50 ?? I was wondering how i book this and apply the IR discount?

Hi!
Online booking is not possible; you can phone DB's UK booking center at +44 8718 80 80 66 or buy the resrevation at a train station during your trip.
The 4,50€ is for a regular seat reservation, just say that you are going to travel with Interrail.
The bus runs Th, Fr, Sa, leaving Düsseldorf at 2130, Eindhoven at 2305 and Antwerpen at 00:15. Arrival a London Victoria coach station is 07:20 the following morning.
The bus currently is listed to run to 30 June only, but I assume that it will continue to run after this date and the database of online schedule planners will be updated.

You can look for other buses (idBUS, Megabus) or take the P&O ferry Calais - Dover (buses also use ferries across the channel I think and usually it is cheaper to buy a bus ticket all the way to London.
