Goods Transported in The UK

The graph illustrates the transportation of goods in the UK from 1974 to 2002 across four modes: road, water, rail, and pipeline. Road transport dominated with an increase from 70 million tonnes in 1974 to 100 million tonnes by 2002, while pipeline transport saw a rise to 25 million tonnes before stabilizing at 20 million tonnes. Water transport experienced significant growth peaking at over 60 million tonnes, whereas rail transport declined to around 40 million tonnes by the end of the period.

Line graph 8 bands

The graph shows the amount of goods transported by the four modes of
transport: road, water, rail, and pipeline, in the UK from 1974 to 2002; the
quantity is shown on the y-axis in ‘million tonnes’; whereas, the x-axis represents
the interval in ‘years’.
On the whole, the maximum number of goods was transported through road
network, and the least via pipeline; the moderate transportation through other
two mediums remained in between over the period of 29 years.
In 1974, around 70 million tonnes of goods were carried by road, which gradually
increased to about 100 million tonnes, by the end of the period. On the contrary,
only 10% of this, i.e., 7 million tonnes were carried through pipeline in 1974.
Within the next 8 years, the number significantly increased to about 25 million,
but then remained constant for the remaining duration; it undertook only one
drop from 1990 to 1994, the final value in 2002 was only 20 million tonnes.
Interestingly, both water and rail shared the same percentage of goods transfer
in the early four years; however, in 1978, water transport faced a sudden
upsurge, followed by an approximately constant value, i.e., 56 million tonnes
until 1994; whereas, railway transport started to decline considerably, followed
by marginal fluctuations, and reached about 40 million tonnes in 2002. Both
water and rail mediums trailed the identical rate of declination and inclination
from 1994 to 1998, respectively; succeeded by an escalation until 2002,
reaching over 60 million tonnes for water and 40 million tonnes for rail.
