TOPIC:
Presented for consideration is a line graph detailing figures for the number of products transferred by
four ways in British over a period of twenty eight years. Despite a slight increase in rail transportation,
the amount of other three modes experienced overall gains.
In terms of water mode, a trend of substantial gains was plainly discernible. Water mode statistics for
good transported in the UK began increase for the initial part of the period until 1990 and fell off until
1998, ending up at 65 million tonnes. Similar developments took place in road and pipeline, which
products transferred statistics stood at 15 millions and 70 millions in 1981, respectively, before increase
by approximately 15 million tonnes in 2002.
As far as rail transportation is concerned, there was a mixed pattern, despite an impressively recovered
from 1998 to 2002. The statistics of rail transportation fluctuated between lower than 30 million tonnes
and upper than 40 million tonnes through period, with lows in 1984 and 1995 and highs in the first and
last five years.
Three of the four surveyed through the period demonstrated similar patterns, with rail serving as a
notable exception.
