Level Crossing Excess Delay caused by a TCF

It seems unfair to penalise the Signaller with an 'Excess delay to road users' if this is caused by a track circuit failure which then prevents the barriers being raised.

If the core code can identify these situations perhaps the penalty and warning message can be suppressed.

I'd love a breakdown between 'Delays caused by you' and 'Delays caused by failures' but I imagine the code required to accurately identify it would be extremely time-consuming to come up with. Especially if it had to determine whether to attribute a delay to the presence of a failure or the signaller's decisions when going around it!
