Help with Seat Reservations from Manchester to Paris
When I look through Eurail, it says that a seat reservation is required for the route.
The Eurail timetable is not reliable, also for this kind of information, and should not be relied on.
All day trains in GB have either optional reservations or don't have reservations at all.
If you have a valid travel day for that day, you can get a free reservation either at the train station or online indeed through GWR (but not through their ticket search engine). Be sure to follow the steps listed here:
I know direct is not an option, though I am trying to book with my Eurail pass. Despite there being routes, I am unable to reserve seats which is the issue I am trying to resolve. Might you have any suggestions? I’ll be traveling toward the end of April.
Seat reservations for Eurostar can be found here:

Press "later" or "earlier", if you don't find trains for your specific travel time and date.
There are no direct trains on this connection. You need to change trains in London.
Manchester - London has only optional reservations, so you don't necessarily have to book a seat. These are free btw, on domestic British trains. GWR can book seat reservations on most day trains in the UK. For free.
Eurostar (London - Paris) should be booked asap. It has on'y limited seats for pass holders. When are you travelling exactly ?
