The graph below shows the quantities of goods transported in the UK between 1974 and 2002 by four different modes of transport. You should write at least 150 words.

The given diagram represents the amount of commodities carried by different types of transport in the period of time from 1074 to 2002 in the UK. In general, what stands out from the graph is that they were increasing except for the Rail method which was stable as a whole. As regards the Road method that carried out by vehicles, the amount of load is about 70

million

tones

then

it was fluctuation over the next twelve

years

, at which

point

it went up to just under 80

million

tones

, having remained stable at

this

rate,

then

jumped up to over 90

million

tones

which was top of the list. Another interesting

point

is that transfer whereby water modes started from just under 40

million

tones

then

increased significantly to just under 60, next it remained stable over the 8

years

, at

this

point

, it dropped to approximately fifty

million

tonnes

then

it shoots up to about 65

million

tonnes

which were not quite as popular as Road modes in 1974. If we look at the Pipeline, it began with about 5

million

tonnes

which was the bottom of the list,

then

it considerably rose to over 20

million

tonnes

in the next eight

years

. At

this

point

, having remained stable from 1982 until 1990, next it plunged at 20

million

tonnes

from 1990 to 1994, next it remained stable in the 8

years

which in 2002 was 20

million

tonnes

which were nowhere near as popular as the Railway.

By contrast

, the Rail method,

such

as the train, did not increase, whilst having remained stable at 40

million

tonnes

from 1974 until 1978,

then

it fluctuated until 2002.
