The graph below shows the amount of goods transported in the UK from 1974 to 2002.
The line graph illustrates the weight of goods transported by four major modes of transport around the UK in a 28-year period starting in 1974.
Overall
, most of the modes show a rise in total except the Rali which stays the same relatively. The Pipeline started near zero and rocketed to peak in 1982 and kept that until the end of the period. Water and Rail started at nearly the same point but the Water rose despite the Rail that fluctuated around the same amount. From 1978 to 1982 two of them jumped and two of them fell the most significant jump refers to the Water which climaxed nearly 20
million
tonnes
of goods
also
in the same amount of time the Rail lost one quarter and carried around 30
million
tonnes
. The Road has the most different act
due to
others which is the most common one and keep that honour during that years by showing nice and smooth growth that started with above 70
million
tonnes
in 1974 and end near 100
million
tonnes
in 2002 that means the Road carries as five-time as Pipeline at the same time.
