Signal failures happen when the 1950s vintage signalling system needs a new valve. (As in thermionic valve).
When there is a fault wiring diagrams are produced and you have to go through the links to find the error.
Anyways, "Signalling Errors" basically means the relay system has discovered a problem and refuse to allow the train to move. Would it be better to tell the truth? "The safety system won't let us move the train even though we tried numerous times to defeat it." I know I would, but most sheeple would panic.
Threaded in "Signals and Telecommunications" modeInsanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.
