I am very new to interrail passes. I will be travelling from London to Cambridge one day, and then from Cambridge to Edinburgh another day. I am very confused, how do I reserve seats for these trains? And do I need to, really? How does one know if seat reservation is needed or not?
If I don’t need to reserve, do I just show up on the train with my pass on the rail planner and show that one if they ask?

If you want to book a reservation, you can do it free of charge via GWR, see this overview:

+6No reservations possible for London to Cambridge.
For Cambridge to Edinburgh, I’d consider reserving the LNER part of the journey, which will probably be from Peterborough I guess - especially if it’s a busy time of day. Use the link that
But it’s not really necessary. I’ve always been able to find a seat, even without reservations.
+6Actually, the link above works for all UK operators. But for LNER specifically, you can also do it on their own website, which is slightly easier - and you can choose your own seat.
Just enter 0 when it asks for a ticket number.
