The graph given illustrates how the quantities of goods transported in the UK and above of four different modes of transport change from 1974 to 2002.
Overall, it was clear that the number of goods transported in the UK through road, water, rail, and pipeline registered a downward trend. Another key feature was that the quantities of water transported records the highest and a dramatically rose during the researched period.
In 1974, the rail transport by 40, ranking second compared to the other goods transported. Nevertheless, this figure was plunged in about 1994, to nearly 30. Besides, at the beginning of water transported showed ranking third by under 40, after climbing to around 60 reaching ranking second at the end of the period.
From 1974 to 2002, there was a growth in the figure for road and pipeline transported. Particularly, the quantities of pipeline transported were promptly increased by around 20. Like this trend, from 70 to 100 was experienced in the road transported.
