The graph below shows the quantities of goods transported in the UK between 1974 and 2002 by four different modes of transport.

The line graph illustrates how many million tons of goods were transported through four means of transportation in the UK between the years 1974 and 2002.
Overall, it is evident that the road was one of the most popular modes of transporting goods while pipeline being the least popular. Throughout the period the amount of goods transported fluctuated, but at the end all four types rose in usage.
In 1974, more than 65 million tonnes of goods were transported by the road in the UK, having left water, rail, and pipeline further behind (39, 40, 5 million tonnes, respectively). Despite the road having some unstable periods in 1978, 1994 – when it had its decrease in million tonnes – by 1998 it had reached its peak transported amount of more than 96 million tonnes of goods. Rail and water having started with almost the same amount of goods, had completely different statistics coming to 1982 when transporting by water reached about 58 million tonnes and rail, in contrast, downgraded to almost 30 million tonnes.
Pipeline leading further behind with the least amount of goods (almost 5 million tonnes) had consistent increase and each four years the amount of goods doubled, reaching the peak in 1994 with more than 21 million tonnes of goods transported.
