I think the main problem was lack of ability to pass through Waterfall.

3801 Limited was not able to make the normal run with the Long Lunch Train
from Summit Tank to Sydney this afternoon apparently for this reason. There
was a similar problem on the East Hills Line. The LLT operated from Sydney
to Summit Tank via Moss Vale and return via the same route, although the
morning journey was via Granville and the afternoon via Regents Park.
