The line graphs give information about the number of goods transported through four main modes of transport in the UK between 1974 and 2002. Overall, it can be seen that there were both upward and downward trends and roads were by far the most popular in these years.
According to the data, as regards, increasing upward trends, about 70 million tonnes of products was transported through the roads in 1974. Followed by a negligible decrease in 1982, it then surged to more than 80 million in 1996, and peaked at nearly 100 million tonnes of commodities, hitting the most in 2002, comparably. In addition, the pipeline also showed an increasing usage beginning nearly zero in the first year, it then showed an increasing use in the following years reaching almost 20 million tonnes in 2002, but still the least in comparison to others.
Having looked at the recorded quantities for water and railways, both had a similar amount in the first four years. Thereafter, they behaved quite differently from one to another. For the first one, it increased to carry out nearly 60 million tonnes in the following years. However, for the second, it was fluctuated decreasingly to nearly 20 million tonnes in 1994, but followed by a sharp rise to take back the quantity it had in 1972 replacing nearly 40 million tonnes in the last year.
