Default tube system radio usage

I note Bakerloo services stopped this morning following radio failure.

What usage for radio is essential to run tube services?

I assume signal light and switch control uses wired links and drivers
control trains - with the exception of the Victoria line.

I hope my assumptions will be corrected here.

Do you not think it essential for there to be a means of communication
between trains and operations control?

In the old days they would stop and clip on a telephone to the two
cables which run down the side of every tunnel.
