Street - Blackfriars area. AFIAA, only 33s and 73s are allowed

Whats the reason for the restriction , is it loading gauge or
gradiants or something else entirely?
Height of the tunnels?
ISTR it's carriage length, because of the sharp curve around St
Pancras.
If I recall right, there were only certain class 31s allowed to haul
the trains through hotel curve to Kings Cross for a similar reason.
Aren't the Thameslink carriages curved in at each end to go around St
Pancras?
