This has just happened to me and my wife.  We were booked into separate
cabins due to a small cock up and found it difficult to recombine them.  We
managed to do this by ringing Countrylink customer service who fixed it for
us very efficiently, promptly and courteously.  However they said we were
lucky as we had not yet paid for the tickets, and according to the booking
system my wife is a male!  This is sure to confuse the conductor!  Despite
all the criticism aired here we found Countrylink pleasant and responsive to
deal with and are looking forward to our trip.
