The given line graph compares the volumes of goods transported through four means of transport in the UK for a period of 28 years between 1974 and 2002.
Looking at the chart, it can be seen clearly that transportation cargo by Road accounted for the highest proportion, whereas Pipeline was the mode of transport with the least amount of goods. During 28 research years, the cargo quantities had changed.
There was significant growth in Road freight, in 1974, 70 million ton of goods was transported through Road, and in 2020, this figure reached 97 million ton. The volume of goods transported by Water showed unchanged for the first 4 years, followed by a significant increase for the next four years and remained relatively during the years 1982 to 1994, after that it is followed by a decline, before a strong growth in the last 4 years.
The number of goods transported by rail remained unchanged for the first 4 years, there was a fluctuation in the following 20 years and the figure in 2002 is roughly equivalent to 1974 at 40 million ton. Cargo transported by Piplepine increased significantly in the first 8 years, remained stable for the next 8 years, decreased slightly in the following 4 years and remained relatively constant at 20 tons since 1994.
