Default Signal failure on the central line?

You sure? The trains don't just stop at the signals, they stop pretty
much anywhere. I assumed it was moving block but I guess not?

It's not moving block, but it's broken down into distinct blocks between
the conventional signals. The easiest place to see them is at stations.
You'll see a board in the middle of the tracks (or on the side wall)
which are the intermediate signals. Think of those as the "signals".
From memory, they're white with a red diagonal stripe and a number on them.
