The given chart shown that amount of goods transported in the UK between 1974 and 2002 using four distinct transportation system. Units are measured in million tonnes.
Overall, the highest amount of goods was transported by road, whereas pipeline remained the least commonly used method of transportation over the entire period. Although, there were some fluctuated.
According to the given data, in 1974, more than 70 million tonnes of products were transported on the road, while around 40 million tonnes was transported via water and rail transportations. The least quantity of supplies ( around 5 million tonnes) was carried in pipelines in this same year. Over the year, the products carried via road rapidly increased with some fluctuations, and reached to about 100 million tonnes in 2002. Moreover, the water transports were used more for transporting cargo to the UK and except in 1998, transported in waterway kept on increasing and finally reached over 60 million tonnes in 2002. The use of rail got reduced as less quantity of items were transported in rail later years, but it reached to 40 million tonnes in 2002. Finally, goods carried by pipelines slightly increased, which was 22 million tonnes by 2002.
