Hi.
Important is the stamp which shows your entry date to the UK.
This should be the 5th Oct. 2011 then.

And you need a six months stay in Europe to be allowed to travel with an Interrail pass.
In your case the magic date is the 5th April 2012.

If you start travelling before this date, you will need an Eurail pass.

But I am not specialist for visas - so maybe you can even buy an Interrail pass before, stating that you entered the 7th Sep 2014?! I personally would wait until the 5th April.

If you want to travel with Interrail from the 5th April, you can purchase the ticket already before. As only the first day your Interrail pass gets valid is important, not the date of purchase!

Buy Interrail here to support the railcc project. Delivery to the UK is free:
