Default How can you have a signal failure on an ATO system?

The train is control by the ATO cable signals , not a cluster of coloured
lights in the tunnel. Or is "signal failure" just an LU catch all phrase for
a computer failure?

Yes. For reasons I can't remember, there are only something like 5 or
6 possible phrases they'll use to explain delays to the public.
"Signal failure" is very broad and could mean any kind of signalling/
ATO/points/etc problem. "Passenger action" is another one.
