In the event of an isolated small bank failure I suspect.
If Deutsche Bank went broke I think it might not be able to cope. A quick Google says there are nearly 3,000 different banks (ie different legal entities) in Germany, more like the USA where it seems every town has its own small bank.

Railtrack doesn't really exist. Did you mean "Network Rail"? Say they run optimally to anyone with a journey involving Rugby Station, and you'll get laughed at.
Look up 'efficiency' 'cartel' and 'jobs for he boy' and 'unions' to see why things are the way they are.
I'm sure people know why things are like they . I thought the OP was looking for reasons as to why the authorities shouldn't legislate to stop it being that way.

Would they? No need for motor factors to have massive stocks of umpteen different type of what ever. Less transportation. Every garage could carry the full range of common consumables for all cars, this would save the motor factors delivery van doing a trip just to deliver a single set of filters etc to a garage servicing a particular model that they don't have stock for.
With fewer types economy of scale in manufacture kicks in, you just make
10,000,000 "filter, oil, type C" instead of 100,000 of this 3 million of that another 750,000 of the other, oh and 50,000 of variant B of filter X etc etc.Have something to add? Share your thoughts — no account required.
