Self promotion, support a long time HN reader and get your pass via https://allaboard.eu/eurail or https://allaboard.eu/interrail It’s actually more affordable via us, as prices are net and we do free refunds. Loosing the Stripe fee but it’s worth it.
Just an FYI- your "Read more" link under "Seat Reservations" on both pages just leads back to the same page, rather than actually linking to anything offering more information.

WALK to school?! back when I were a lad, we had to CRAWL to school! what a great workout it was! and, for our packed lunches, we'd have a hard-boiled potato with a dod of ketchup, and some breadcrumbs if we were lucky, and we enjoyed it!!
Uphill both ways!

As someone who cycled to school and back in a pancake-flat landscape, it often did feel like you were up against the wind in both ways. I swear the winds just waited for me, in the morning and the afternoon.

Not for Eurostar. Interrail seat reservations are often more expensive than a new ticket.
I've taken Amsterdam-London with Interrail many times, usually €35, sometimes €57, often sold out. So yeah, two price levels; Eurostar is basically SNCF.

In France, some destinations are served only by TGV. In Italy, taking local trains can take an eternity.
but with interrail the "useful" thing was to travel overnight, because that saves you one night of $$ for loding, so slow is actually fine. I don't think fast trains (TGV, Frecciarossa etc) were ever covered by the interrail ticket anyway, were they?

I've had on multiple occasions Eurostar reservations cost more than 300 €. I didn't buy them, of course.
