goods
were transported using four types of transport
in the UK from 1974 to 2002. Overall
, the amount of goods
transported by all four types increased during this
period. It is clear that
there was a big rise in the amount of goods
transported by road.
Firstly
, the biggest change was seen in road transport
, which increased from about 70 million
tonnes
in 1974 to just under 100 million
tonnes
in 2002. Goods
transported by water and pipeline also
went up. Water transport
started at just below 40 million
tonnes
and went up to just above 60 million
tonnes
. Pipeline transport
began at about 5 million
tonnes
and rose to over 20 million
tonnes
. Among the four types, road transport
was the most used.
On the other hand
, goods
transported by rail showed a different pattern. In 1974, rail transport
was exactly 40 million
tonnes
, but it fell to around 30 million
tonnes
by 1984. After some ups and downs from 1984 to 1995, rail transport
increased a lot, reaching just over 40 million
tonnes
in 2002.Submitted by nguyenvuthaison3005 on
