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 compares how many goods were shipped in the United Kingdom using four types of transport from 1974 to 2002. Units are measured in millions of tonnes.

Overall, the road was the primary transport used to ship goods over the period given as compared to the pipeline, which was the least. It is noticeable that the amount of goods shipped by all means of transport rose dramatically except for rail, which remained relatively the same.

The number of products transported by road began at around 70 million tonnes, after which it fluctuated slightly until 1994, then subsequently went up to peak at nearly 100 million tonnes in 2002. Transporting goods through the pipeline started at about 5 million tones in1974, then climbed to just over 20 million tonnes in 1994 before levelling off.

The figure of merchandise hauled by water started at just under 40 million tonnes and increased in1982 by almost 50%, which remained relatively unchanged until 1998, before increasing to approximately 60 million tonnes in 2012. With regard to rail, the number hovered between around 25 and roughly 40 million tonnes throughout the period.
