I booked a trip from Sydney to Melbourne on the sleeper service a couple of months ago. There morning before my departure, I got a text message informing me that the sleeper carriage I was due to be on was replaced with a seated carriage, due to “maintenance”, and I would be refunded the difference. This sort of thing would not be accepted in Europe.

Even Austrian ÖBB do this shit daily. Okay mainly due to the new trains taking longer...
