Hi guys,
Myself and my partner and looking to go to France for 2 weeks using only the rails. I have read that if you buy an Interrail Global pass which isn\'t much more than the France only pass, you get travel from your home city to an airport/port/pancras.
Does anybody have experience using the UK rails on interrail as a UK citizen, is there anything I am missing?
Our current plan is: Take the outbound journey of the pass to Pancras, take the Eurostar to Paris (we will purchase the tickets in advance), visit a Paris and 3 other cities,
return to Paris, Eurostar home and then our inbound free travel to our home city?
Is this possible?

Hi and welcome to railcc!
Yes this is possible, however I would recommend getting a passholder reservation for the Eurostar which is cheaper than a regular ticket (even than an advance fare ticket). Since 2017, Interrail is fully valid on Eurostar services: [ux]https://rail.cc/blog/interrail-news-2017/[/ux]
So, you could get a Global Pass, use the outbound/inbound journeys for your trip from your hometown to St Pancras, get a Eurostar passholder reservation to Paris and start Interrailing in France.
Passholder reservations for the Eurostar are available on [ux]https://rail.shop/beurope/reservation/[/ux] and may be also available on the UK version of [ux]https://rail.shop/sncf/reservation/[/ux]
To support our work, buy your official Interrail ticket through our partner link: [ux]https://rail.shop/interrail/[/ux] - thank you! :)
