The given line graph illustrates the goods transportation through road, water, rail and pipeline in the UK between 1974 and 2002. The units of measurement is million tonnes.
Overall, it can be seen from the graph that road was the most popular mode whereas pipeline was the least used mode of goods transportation in Britain throughout the whole given period of time.
According to the graphical representation, in 1974, road transport was the highest used method to shift goods, with almost 70 million tonnes while pipeline was the lowest used mode which accounts only 3 million tonnes goods. At the same time, both water and rail transport depicted same amounts of goods, that is approximately 40 million tonnes. From 1978, the water transportation have shown a gradual escalation and reached just under 60 million tonnes in 1982. In contrast, goods movement through train depicted a significant drop by almost 10 million tonnes.
In 2002, after some fluctuations all four categories transportation reached its peak level except rail, which shows almost same amounts of 1974(40 million tonnes). Road and water transport peaked at approximately 100 and 60 million tonnes; however, pipeline reached its highest point in 1998 and maintained the same till 2002, about 20 million tonnes.
