Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The line chart illustrates the products’ transportation quantities in the UK through four transport modes, namely road, water, rail and pipeline, from 1974 to 2002. Overall, throughout the surveyed period, the goods transported by the mentioned four modes experienced an upward trend.
First of all, road was the primary method to transport commodities during the measured period. It initially transported 70 million tonnes of goods in 1974. Thereafter, the figure fluctuated and reached its plateau at nearly 100 million tonnes in 2002. Similarly, the quantities of products transported by water started its number just under 40 million tonnes. It soared to 55 million tonnes in 1982 and kept stable before slightly dropped to 50 million tonnes in 1988, after that it bounced back to 65 million tonnes in 2002.
By contrast, although began at the similar statistic with that from water, the transport capacity of rail showed a fluctuating downward trend during the first 20 years. However, this figure went up back and ended at just over 40 million tonnes in 2002. As for the pipeline, the goods quantities transported by it started from scratch and gradually rose to 23 million tonnes during the measured period.
