Actually 2154 has now appeared. A Max, surely the same which came as 2153.
They seem to play that game every time they want to downgauge 153/154. My best guess is that whenever too many seats stay empty on the 330, they do this. Cancelling rather than switching equipment and then claiming a safety issue so as not to have to pay IDB/VDB.
We were affected by this last week. After they denied compensation I replied doubting of their claim, on the basis that the 330 originally scheduled did continue flying all the way intil departure time. No answer yet.
Nut same flight, mechanical issue three times a week does not sound like it's believable.
