The groups are drawn, looks like a fairly decent turnout from the UK, with Josh top seed for his group:

I’ll also be getting the train - planning to travel across from Vienna on the Wednesday morning (probably the 8:15 or 9:15 train from Wien Westbahnhof)Great to see a long list of UK players! Booked the flights finally, Manchester to Vienna, we plan to get the train from Vienna as it takes the same amount of time as driving. Really looking forward to it!

You'll be ahead of us, we land at 12:55 - will you buy a train ticket in advance or just rock up on the day?I’ll also be getting the train - planning to travel across from Vienna on the Wednesday morning (probably the 8:15 or 9:15 train from Wien Westbahnhof)
Ahhhh, ViennaWould highly recommend anyone taking in the sights of Vienna, amazing city
Planning to just rock up… but will see how much cheaper it is to book in advanceYou'll be ahead of us, we land at 12:55 - will you buy a train ticket in advance or just rock up on the day?
Thanks, have booked my train tickets now. Was about £25 out from Vienna, and £40 back directly to the airport (different train companies)I wasn't intending to play - just there to report, but Stefan included me so I thought what the heck.
Was looking at taking the train from the airport but there are delays and cancellations due to track work. Plus, getting a car wasn't any more expensive so...
BTW, I was told by Stefan that trains are much cheaper booked in advance.
