The graph below shows the quantities of goods transported in the UK between 1974 and 2002 by four different modes of transport. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The line graph illustrates the number of products transported by four methods of transport including

road

,

water

, rail and

pipeline

Overall

,

it is clear that

the railway had a fluctuating trend from 1974 to 2002,

while

other means of transportation by

road

water

and

pipeline

rose slowly in the same years.

To begin

, in 1974, products transported in the UK by

road

,

water

and

pipeline

had increasing trends, starting at around 70, 39 and 3

, it went up fluctuation between 1974 and 1994,

then

it climbed significantly to approximately 98

million

tonnes

, which is the highest rate

at the end

of the period.

Next,

water

and

pipeline

experienced a slight increase from begin to around the year 1980,

whereas

pipeline

remained constant at around just under 20

million

tonnes

in 1982 until around 1992 and still levelled off at about 22

million

tonnes

between 1995 and 2002.

In contrast

, after 1982, the

water

stayed at the same rate at about 58

million

tonnes

and dropped in the year 1998 to about 55

million

tonnes

. After that, it rose dramatically to just over 60

million

tonnes

at the end

of the period.

According to

the railway, it decreased gradually from the beginning to around the year 1984.

After
