The given bar graph and line graph illustrate the comparison between the amount of
revenue
 generated and the amount which was given as a subsidy in the rail industry during the
period
 between 1989-90 and 2009-10.
Overall
, it can be clearly seen from the graph that subsidies given by the government are always less than the total
revenue
 in any year. Interestingly, both these data fluctuate alike within
this
period
 of two decades. In the first decade (1989-90 to 1999-00), railway
revenue
 started from 6
billion
pounds
 and reached its peak of 8
billion
pounds
 in 1992-93. From where it managed to continue the range between 6-8
billion
pounds
 till 1999-00,
however
 notably for once in 1995-96,
this
 value dropped to 5
billion
pounds
. In the same
period
, the percentage of government support was
also
 found erratic.
While
 it started at 20% in 1989-90, steadily raised and reached a peak of 40% in 1992-93.
Then
 gradually climbed down to reach 35% in the next two years before it fell sharply to hit the lowest of 10% in 1995-96. But
this
 trend did not
last
 long and immediately rose to reach the same place until it was fluctuating between 20 to 30% till the end of 1999-2000. In terms of the second decade from 2001- 2010, both
revenue
 and subsidy showed a trend alike of rise till 2007 and a gradual fall after that.
Revenue
 witnessed a significant rise and doubled within a seven-year
period
 from 2001 to 2007.
However
, it fell to 12
billion
at the end
 of 2010.
Similarly
, subsidy reached its peak of 50% in 2007 and dropped down to 35%
at the end
 of 2010.
