The Amount of Goods Transported in the UK

The Amount of Goods Transported in the UK alR2w

The line graph displays the figures for goods transported in four different ways in the UK between 1974 and 2002. At the beginning of the period, the number of goods that were transported via road grew steadily from more than 70 to around 82 million tons in 1992, followed by a sharp rise to nearly 100 after a decade, making it the highest shipment. In comparison, merely about 5 million tons of commodities were shipped to the UK by pipeline during the first period. Experiencing a slight increase still did not allow the pipeline transportation mode to outnumber other categories as it remained stagnant until 2002. As seen on the graph, both waterways and railways began at the same amount, at roughly 40 million tons, before they fluctuated in their different ways. Over the years, the quantity of cargo carried by waterways climbed to about 62 million tons, with a minor decline in 1998. In the meantime, rail transport took a plunge, reaching its lowest point of approximately 30 million tons and rising considerably by the end of the period. Overall, within the 28 years, roadways remained the dominant mode, whereas pipelines were the least to be chosen. In general, both water and rail shipments had the opposite trend, where one was increasing, and the other remained unchanged.
