The root cause, as I'm sure you know already, is likely a failed GPS on the bus, in conjunction with a driver that wasn't attentive enough to manually advance the system from stop to stop.

Albeit in most cases this would result in a reversal (as the tag off location is same as tag on).
In this case the GPS has seemingly not worked from route commencement at Little Bay to Kensington, before switching on before Central
Only other thing I can think of is a driver change nearby whereby power was incorrectly shutoff so the system defaulted to start of route (as the driver logged in) before it established GPS. (Had this occur to me in the early days boarding at Edgecliff and being charged from Watson's Bay)

Could be a problem when the driver finished another route and then headed to Little Bay since I know a few 309/391s run empty becoming 393s at Little Bay. Drivers probably also like to take a break at P depot and shutoff in between empty runs/breaks if they're near Port Botany Depot which is near Little Bay. Maybe driver failed to shut down properly after going the depot for a quick snack or toilet break in between runs nearby P depot.
