• I really want to do the DD, but I live in Manchester and the return coach to London has sold out. Does anyone know what other options there are for getting back?

    There are usually some coach tickets available at the end as people don't take them up. You could speculate on that option. Apart from that, you could plan a nice week-end in Suffolk and return at your leisure on Sunday evening or on Monday. As the others said, you could ride to Ipswich, or to another station. The closest station, Darsham, is not a good bet, as too many people try to get on the train there.
