Mod note: The first four posts in this discussion have been split from this thread in International Transport.
A tip from a colleague, which I will take advantage of in the autumn:
If you live a fair way from London, an Interrail 3 days in a month plus ES passholder fares is a very economical way to do a straightforward return trip to most of Germany, because you can take full advantage of the first and last days' travel in the UK.
I checked this out for Shipley-London-Brussels-Erfurt this autumn, and it's significantly cheaper than the London Special plus peak-time Advances, and also than using London International CIV fares.
I imagine this is also effective via Paris, though you've got the complication of TGV supplements there.
