the graph below shows the quantities of goods transported in the UK between 1974 and 2002 by four different modes of transport. bKWB
Goods is distributed from factory to shops and households using different modes of transport. This graph compares four types of transport used to distribute goods between 1974 and 2002 in UK. Modes of transport included in this graph is road, water, rail and pipeline.
In general, quantity of good distributed using road, water and pipeline is slightly increasing from 1974 to 2002, except for rail which slightly decreasing until around 1995 and increasing again afterwards. In comparison, road is the most used while pipeline is the least used to transport goods between those years. In 1974 to 1978, water and rail are used in the same quantity relatively. However, a significant difference is seen from 1978 afterwards where water transport is used more often and rail is used less often. Although, there are an increasing quantity of good transported using water transportation, the road is still the most used transportation used to distribute good in UK throughout 1974 to 2002. Same goes on pipeline, it is still the least used transportation to distribute goods even though rail lowers in quantity.
Nonetheless, in the last 4 years, we can see that road is somewhat stagnant while water is rocketing. In the next few years, if this trend is sustained, water transport may pass the road transport as the most utilized transport to distribute goods in the UK. Furthermore, rail shows an increasing as well in the last 4 years even though not as sharp as water transport. Meanwhile other transport is used more in the last 4 years, pipeline is in plateau since 1994 and it may retain in the next few years.
Through this graph, we can see how modes of transport used in the UK to transport goods change over time. The preference is not very dynamic even though some modes of transport increased especially in the latter years. Road and pipeline remains the most and the least used modes of transport to distribute good in the UK, respectively.
