My wife has been working 3 days a week in London Bridge for years and just buys returns. Very expensive for 3 days, and one of the reasons she is leaving that job for a local one.

Definitely good when used properly.

I did InterRail about 10 years ago, and the only supplements were for sleepers or occasional express trains. Given the sleepers were good to avoid paying for a hotel, the supplement pretty much kills off the financial benefit. I recently looked into re-doing InterRail and found it a bit more...
