Hi, I’ve been on the https://www.interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip/ for about an hour trying to plan a trip from Wales to Stuttgart. The journey requires 3-4 high speed trains. The trouble is - everytime I check seat reservation on this route, it says “sold out”. This is recurrent on every train I’ve searched across multiple dates. The route uses UK train (Avanti), eurostar, TGV and DB (or can avoid TGV if you go via Brussels. It’s just so odd that every single train across every single time period is sold out. I’m searching at the beginning of the summer holidays (late july, early August), but I can’t believe this is the case 3 months before departure. Is there something I’m missing? I haven’t used interrail for 5+ years, has it got really popular in the meantime?!
No Seat reservations available

Avoid the Interrail website for reservations. Instead, use this page as a guide:

If you have any questions about booking a certain train, then always mention at least route, date and departure time.

Thanks for your help, this is greatly appreciated. It’s a bit annoying the interrail website doesn’t work, but these links help mitigate the problem.
The Interrail website is also almost always more expensive, and never offers choosing your seat, to name a few other reasons to ignore it.
