    The line graph illustrates the amounts of products shipped in the UK somewhere in the range of 1974 and 2002 by four distinct methods of transport namely road, water, rail and pipeline. The quantity is indicated in million tonnes.

    Overall, the highest amount of goods was transported via road whereas pipeline remained the least commonly used mode of transportation over the entire period. Although there were some fluctuations, transport by road, water and pipeline showed an upward trend while transportation via rail reduced for a while before returning to the same levels.

    In 1974, around 70 million tonnes of goods were transported by road and this quantity increased to about 100 million tonnes towards the end of the period. Pipeline transported 4 million tonnes of goods in 1974. This figure increased steadily over the years and in 2002, about 20 million tonnes of goods were transported using this means.

    Both water and railways transported about 40 million tonnes of goods in 1974 and that quantity remained more or less the same over the next four years. Later, transport by waterways increased while transport by railways declined. During the period from 1986 to 1994, waterways transported around 60 million tonnes of goods. This quantity declined to around 50 million tonnes in 1998 and increased to about 65 million tonnes over the next four years. By contrast, quantity of transportation by rail declined to 30 million tonnes in 1984 and showed fluctuations until 1998 before rising again to 40 million tonnes in 2002.
