Actually, even worse is when the points just to the left of "a" fail

It'd be worse if "a" failed towards Peterborough, wouldn't it?

Arguable. At least you can run the Peterborough service, which used to
be the busiest. If the crossover is stuck in the diagonal position, you
can't *and* you have to run the remaining trains on a single line
between Ely and Ely North Jn.
