Okay, first i want to say sorry, but i have some troubles to figure out the system with interrail and supplements tickets :)
But here is the trip i want to go on:
Tu 6/11 Kolding - Berlin
su 9/11 Berlin - Amsterdam
th 15/11 Amsterdam - Manchester
to 22/11 Manchester - Madrid
ma 26/11 madrid - Barcelona
Now is my question, how do i find out what trains i need to buy tickets supplements? i was at my local store, and there i was talking with someone that didn't know anything about it,but she told me from Kolding to Amsterdam, i didn't need to buy any supplements. But she also told me that if i woulg go from amsterdam to manchester, it would cost about 100 euro extra in supplements, is there not any way to get it cheaper :) ?
I hope there is a friendly soul which will help me with this, thank you :)

Hej,
here you can find a list of trains which require an additional reservation/supplement: :arr: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation[/u]
Regarding your trip, you will need to pay extra on the following segments:
- Crossing the channel. This can be done either by Eurostar, which will cost between ~50 to 75€ (depending on whether you buy a regular advance ticket or a Interrail reservation). Alternatively you can go by ferry, the cheapest option being Calais - Dover for ~25€, another option would be Hook van Holland - Harwich for ~35€ (plus ~35€ for a cabin on the overnight service)
- Paris - Irun and Irun - Madrid; this would be 6€ for the TGV or overnight train to Irun and again 6,50€ for the Alvia to Madrid.
- Madrid - Barcelona: 10€
Kolding - Bruxelles/Calais/Hook van Holland can be done without reservations, take care to avoid the Thalys trains in the Benelux countries. In the UK, you do not need any reservations (except of course if you decide to use Eurostar).

that 100eur extra comes on his/her screen as:
1.IR-supplmt for the EUR*-which is MORE as the lowest price single (from ANY NL-station-for 50 eur-but only on off-peak trains. Also: for that 50eur-as long as it can do (new trains come from 9/12) you must use the local beNelux trains-
2.the superfast and super expensive Thalys cost 25/35 extra.
An overnightbus (choice of 3 now) Ams-Lon cost maybe 15/20 eur-for the whole ticket.
Also: MAN-MAD canNOt be done in 1 passday.at least 2 are needed.
