The line graph illustrates the UK in terms of the number of goods transported by road, water, rail and pipeline over a period of 28 years.
It is noticeable that there was an increase in the figures for goods transported by road, water, and pipeline, while a fluctuation was seen in rail. In addition, transported goods by road consistently had the highest figures over the period shown.
The number of goods which transported by road started at about 70 million tons, after which it experienced a significant peak at around 95 million tons in the year 2002. In contrast, pipeline transport was the most unpopular among three different transport, at only 5 million tons in 1974, at which point this figure upward trend and remain the same at about 25 million from 1982 to 1994 and between 1990 to 1994 decreased slowly.
Approximately 40 million tons of goods were transported by vehicles in water in 1974, after which this figure grow sharply to around 58 million and remained stable from 1982 to 1994, and final climbed gradually to about 65 million in 2002. Conversely, the figure for rail recorded 40 million tons in 1978, followed by it fluctuate just under 40 million tons between 1978 and 1994, and final rose to 40 million tons in 2002.
