I planned my trip frome france through amsterdam, london and manchester. i understand that we have the right for 2 inbound/outbound travel, in my cas one to amsterdam and one from manchester. However, interrail counts our trip from amsterdam to london as an inbound/outbound ( i guess because it is a eurostar, thus it passes through Lille, in France). Is it normal ? can we solve the issue ? do we have to book another train separately. Thanks !
Solved
inbound/ outbound just by passing through

I believe if you can find a Eurostar which doesn't stop in Lille, then it won't count as travel within France.
Alternatively you can buy a separate Eurostar ticket, or even bypass France entirely (eg ferry from Amsterdam, Rotterdam or Hoek van Holland to the UK).

+16Not sure how strict Eurostar is about that :/ There is a possibilty to add your Eurostar from Amsterdam to London manually (as the system doesnt know the stops inbetween ) it would allow you to add the train without takeing one inbound/outbound.
We had this discussion recently with a friend and he never got an answer by Eurail or Eurostar about that.
The safest way is indeed like
Option 3 is you asked Eurail customer service via the service form if they can give you an extra 3rd Inbound/outbound day :)
