the graph shows the quantities of goods transported by 4 modes of transport in the UK from 1974 to 2002. report and compare the relevent features 8gRRB

The line graph illustrates the amounts of products delivered by 4 means of transport in England over a 28-year period starting in 1974. Units are measured in million tonnes. Looking at the graph, it is immediately obvious that the figures for road, water and pipeline experienced an upward trend with the exception of rail, which remained stable at the end of the period. Road registered the highest figure, while Pipeline was the lowest. In 1974, around 70 million tonnes of goods were transported by road, compared to only about 5 million tonnes moved by pipeline. Water and rail were responsible for the equal amounts, at approximately 40 million tonnes, in the same year. In the following years, there was an overall increase in the quantities of products delivered by road and water, which peaked at nearly 100 and above 60 million tonnes respectively in 2002. The figure for pipeline rose rapidly to approximately 25 million tonnes in 1982, which, then, stayed constant and slightly declined to 20 million tonnes in 2002. The amount of goods moved by rail decreased to about 30 million tonnes in 1986 before recovering to the initial point at the end the period given.
