Given is the graph illustrating the amount of goods transported by four methods of transportation in the UK from 1974 to 2002.
Overall, there were increases in the trend of road, water and pipeline methods in this period, whereas there was a fluctuation in the railway trend.
Firstly, the most popular mode of goods transportation in Britain was road as the figure was always above 70 million tonnes, while other figures stayed lower than 65. Staring at 65 million tonnes, the quantity of goods transported by road rose dramatically to almost 100 in 2002 with two peak downwards in 1982 and in 1994.
The trends of water and rail figures were identical at 40 million tonnes during 1974 to 1978. Few years after that, they separated as the quantity of products sending through water mode increased to almost 60 million tonnes, remaining approximately at 60 until 1993, then dropped slightly to 55 in 1998 and reached to above 60 in 2002. Meanwhile, from 1978 to 1984, there is a drop by 10 million tonnes in the rail figure. Consequently, the rail figure fluctuated and ended at slightly above 40 million tonnes.
Lastly, the pipeline figure was always at the lowest position in this chart as it began at 3 million tones, increased to 15 in 1982 and 22 in 1994 and it is maintaining at 22 until 2002.
