One realistic way to implement signal failures is this : when an activity is started, a notice will appear : "your train is cancelled due to a signal failure" - and the program terminates. I doubt that such an implementation would be appreciated, though.

If that was like that in real life, many railways, on bad weather days specially, wouldn't have any trains running. :lol:
Also, if a signal is failed, due to whatever circumstances, it can also be a "surprise" for the train driver, and one happens to then call to the CTC reporting the problem for the following train drivers to then be informed about it previously. And also in some countries, some signals also show an "extra light" when they are failed... (and I doubt that light is failed as well ;) talk about bad luck... ^_^ ).
