It always makes me laugh when they quote "signal failure" on an ATO worked
line. It seems to be a catch all excuse for any cock up.

Signal*ing* failure, perhaps? They still have to know where the trains
are, and send them instructions, even if there aren't any little red and
green lights by the trackside.

Quite. That's what "signal failure" is used to mean on the
Underground.
