The graph below shows the quantity of goods transported in the UK between 1974 and 2002 by four different modes of transportation.
The line graph depicts the level at which the logistics of transportation of goods takes place in the UK. The graph compares the data of quantity moved amongst four unique modes of transportation, namely, road, water, railways and via pipeline in the period between the years 1974 and 2002.
Overall, the graph can be summarized as exhibiting overwhelmingly upward trend for delivery via roadways, and shows a somewhat initial increment followed by sudden stagnation in the rate for pipeline based delivery.
Pipeline based movement of goods experiences initial upheaval from zero to around 20 million tonnes; then, it remains steady or constant between the years 1982 and 1990. Similarly, water based transportation increases from 40 to 60 million tonnes, only to remain at the latter value for the same period as that of pipeline-mode; however, unlike pipeline mode, there is growth in volume of items moved across UK after a short dip in 1998 to about 63 million tonnes by 2002.
As stated before, road based mode of transport dominates as the most common choice of logistical services, with its value in the range of 65 to about 100 million tonnes by year 2002.
Railways appear to be the anomaly in this case, made evident by the statistics indicating the amount of goods transported by this way; ultimately, to have neither increased or diminished altogether.
