Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The graph compares the volumes of goods delivered by four means of transport in the UK during the period from 1974 to 2002.
Overall, almost every means of transport in the UK saw an upward trend in the goods delivered with rail as the only exception. Road transportation delivered more goods than any other means of transport.
Trucking was by far the most important mode of transport, with the figure increasing modestly from 70 million to approximately 80 million in 1994 and then rising at an even faster pace during the rest of the period to nearly 100 million tonnes in 2002. The amount transported by water was lower: while it did record a significant growth from 40 million to around 70 million tonnes in 2002, the figure remained basically unchanged at between 55 and 60 million tonnes for nearly two decades from 1982 to 1998.
By comparison, there was a dramatic fall in the figure for rail transportation from around 40 million tonnes in 1974 to 30 million tonnes in 1984, although it did climb back to over 40 million tones in 2002. The tonnage delivered by pipeline recorded a steady growth from approximately 5 million tonnes in 1974 to over 20 million tonnes in 1995, and then remained at this level for the rest of the period. Despite the growth, it was the least popular means of transport.
