Hi to all, I’m planning to go London from sofia via train but i didnt even travel once with neither interrail nor any other train. When i look into i saw that the route from sofia to london is a bit complicated one. So i need help from other experienced travelers. I only know that i need to go paris for london but i’m stranger to these things but wanna try. So my questions are on average how much it would cost to me, how many days it would take, is it reasonable to take train rather than plane, Which route i should take ? and what should beginners need to know about interrail and etc.

Too many questions to fully answer.
I would suggest you do your own research on the Internet .
Prices for Global pass on Intrrail site. Allow for reservations especially for Eurostar to London.
Train planning is personal choice but use several planners. Day trains, night trains, long day and connection times. Also have backups for delays or missed trains.
I would guess you would need at least 3 days each way. It may be possible in 2 long days but you would spend most of it on trains or on stations.
Hotels and food costs etc.
If you are only going to London I would fly.
If it is your first trip to London please note it is expensive for any centre hotel.
If you want to tour the UK then you could get a global pass

Best site-and Yorkie should very well know that: is seat61.com.
This is by Mark Smith, former manager of a very big LONdon station, real fan of trains, he has set up this site to describe all ways of overland travel to all countries in EUR, mostly by train, but also other means of needed. It is not specific for passes, but will give advice. He also often appears on the general touristy forum tripadvisor.com, apparently he has noted that the usual responders here do know their stuff.
And yes-flying will be much cheaper and faster (Certainly on those cheap TR airlines like Pegasus and Anadolu).
IF done by train-the fastest (in the time that the single direct car Ist-Bucuresti runs-summer only) is 3 nights plus most of day 4 after. THis is without breaks, unless just changing trains.
