I believe Peter was referring to the Outer Home in the cutting (SM 1054 UI).
That is where I always seem to get blocked.  They probably need to hold you
there when they are bringing a train out of the sheds, as SM 1046 UI does not
provide two signal protection.

Mortdale's Accept, which is really Hurstville's Accept is signal number SM 1070
UI and is located halfway between Como bridge and Oatley platform.
