We use 'on the behalf of' for favorable things or for good things. We do not use this for errors and for wrong things. For example. He kidnapped me on the behalf of Don. This sentence is wrong. In above sentence the same thing is happening that's why 'on the behalf is wrong' in that sentence.

Why isn't it 'a lot of travel delays are caused'? 'a lot' is plural, right?
Also, it is OK to say 'from the part of'?

What is the difference b/w on part of & behalf of?

I think it is more appropriate using "most of" instead of using "A lot of".
I think on behalf of is generally used to give the idea that something is done because it should be done.
But there should not be delay but it happens.
So we can think it as "part of".
So on part of is more correct.

"On behalf of" refers to persons and "on part of" refers to something else other than persons.

On the part of is used for 'to represent who is responsible for the cause or action'....
In the above question since railway is responsible for the cause we could us 'on the part of' ....

"On behalf of Railway" is not correct. If it were "On behalf of railway Authority", then it may took as correct one.

'on behalf of' is used when someone is representing something for somebody else which could be an individual or an organisation consisting of many people.
