A specific case of outbound and inbound :D

Hi everybody !

I've read a lot of topics on the subject, but I haven't found a precise answer to my question.

 

I’m French, and before leaving for the rest of continental Europe, I want to take a trip to the UK. The first trip from Paris to London will logically count as an outbound. I've understood that.

But then, do I have permission to do London - Brussels afterwards to continue my journey? Won't this London - Brussels (via France) automatically end the validity of my pass, as I'll have returned to France a second time?

To sum up, are these outbound/inbound journeys really outbound and inbound or simply days of travel in our country of residence that can be used in any way, even just by crossing it without stopping?

 

(In the end, I plan to return to France on my own)

Thank you all in advance for your answers!

Arnaud

You can use 2 of your pass days in your country of residence (not extra pass days) at any point during the validity of the pass. On a pass day you can take as many trains as you'd like in your own country.

But Eurostar to Brussels for French residents is an exception : as you don't change trains, it shouldn't count as an inbound/outbound day. Source : https://community.eurail.com/eurail-interrail-passes-41/in-outbound-eurostar-12385

Book Eurostar ASAP, it is a bottleneck and there is a limited number of seats for Interrail/Eurail passholders. Check availability and book here (4€ booking fee per order) : https://www.b-europe.com/EN/Booking/Pass#TravelWish

However travelling afterwards in the UK is easy and fun.

Thank you so much for your quick answer, it's really helpful! So the Eurostar case is interesting, I think it's going to work :) Have a nice day!
